Here's the recipe for Paneer Mystery Balls

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Soaking time: 6 hours

Ingredients

• 500 gms green moong daal (green gram split)
• 1/2 cup chopped coriander
• 1 tbsp ginger paste
• Green chillies as per taste
• 2 tbsp bengal gram flour
• 250 gms cottage cheese
• 7-8 papads (crushed)
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp asafoetida
• Oil for frying

Method

Step 1

Step 2

• Soak the green gram in water for 5 to 6 hours.
• Drain excess water. Grind to a coarse paste.
• Add very little water as we want a thick batter.
• Add chopped coriander leaves, green chillies and ginger paste salt and asafoetida. Add bengal gram flour. Mix everything and keep aside.

Step 3

• Cut paneer into cubes and put aside.
• In a pan, heat oil for frying.
• Take paneer cubes, dip it in the moong dal batter and make balls.

Step 4

• Roll the balls in crushed papads and deep fry on a slow flame. There is a possibility that the batter will be undercooked and papad overcooked if you fry it on medium or high flame.
• Serve hot with your favourite chutney or sauce.
