How to stuff paneer triangles
  1. Mix everything with hands to make a smooth mixture.( other then corn starch ,water and oil)
  2. Take two triangles .Place the mixture on top of one and cover it with the other triangle just like the sandwich.
  3. Heat oil in a pan .
  4. Mix corn starch with water to make a lump- free batter.
  5. Dip stuffed paneer triagles into the batter carefully.Use a spoon to pour some on the top.Remove the excess batter by shaking just a little.
  6. Shallow fry them carefully. Oil can splutter.
Notes
  1. I prefer not to fry deep . In my opinion shallow frying keeps paneer soft .
  2. Turn them over very carefully.
  3. Do it in a wide pan.
  4. Be careful while frying .Oil will splutter.
