These shallow fried spicy paneer fritters are so easy to make and its an easy appetizer / snack for parties. Its also a delicious perfect tea time snack and so good for after school munchies. They can be made in advance and shaped into patties and can be stored in the freezer. Just thaw them couple of hours before, and shallow fry them just in time. Here is how to do the spicy paneer / panneer fritters.
Shred the paneer and cheese and set aside.
Mix in all the ingredients to form a dough.
Make small oblong patties by pressing a dough ball in your palm. Preferably 2 inches in size. Make it firm so it does not break while frying in hot oil.
Shallow fry the patties in really hot oil for 2 minutes on each side. Gently keep turning the patties with a help of a spoon. Be gentle as the patties are fragile. Fry till the fritters are nice and golden. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
