I have always been a big fan of manchurian recipes especially gobi manchurian recipes. However, my husband is an ardent follower of paneer recipes particularly, Indo Chinese cuisine recipes from paneer. This recipe has been pending since last year and my husband had requested it long back. Preparing this snack is no rocket science and can be prepared within minutes. I have prepared this recipe very similar to the Baby Corn Manchurian recipe. Baby corn is hard in texture so deep frying makes it even harder. Paneer cubes are soft and hence when deep fried, make it super special and an interesting appetising snack.

Besides, some important tips, variations and enhancements for a perfect paneer manchurian dry recipe. It is always recommended to use comparatively harder paneer cubes in any Indo-Chinese recipes. Perhaps because the recipes follow a 2 step process with deep frying and sautรฉing, or otherwise it may lose its shape. I have used homemade paneer, you can use store-bought for the same. Secondly, I have added chilli powder for the spiciness, alternatively, chilli sauce can also be added. Adding different types of sauces helps to make it more juicy and saucy in texture. Lastly, to prepare a paneer manchurian gravy recipe, add half a cup of corn flour paste to this recipe. I will be soon posting a detailed post anyway.
