Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix grated paneer, mashed potatoes, green chilies, coriander, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, chaat masala, salt, and cornflour.
Mix well until it forms a soft, smooth mixture.
Step 2: Shape the Bombs
Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into round bomb-shaped balls.
(Optional) Wrap a little string (sutli) or thin vermicelli around each ball for that festive look.
Step 3: Coat the Bombs
Dip each ball into the maida slurry, then roll it in bread crumbs for a crisp outer layer.
Let them rest for 5 minutes so the coating sticks well.
Step 4: Fry the Paneer Bombs
Heat oil in a kadhai.
Fry the paneer bombs on medium flame until golden and crispy from all sides.
Remove and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 5: Serve Hot
Serve the Paneer Sutli Bombs hot with mint chutney, ketchup, or a tangy yogurt dip.
Get ready for that crunchy explosion in every bite!
