Paneer Poppers
Paneer Poppers
Paneer Poppers is a healthy and delicious snack prepared with paneer and vegetables. Ready in under 15 minutes this is surely a recipe to impress your children, family and friends.
These paneer poppers are filled with paneer, carrots, peppers and cooked in a special pan that comes with multiple small spaces. The pan is like the æbleskiver (aebleskiver or ebleskiver) pan used in Danish cooking. These paneer poppers are lighter than most since they are cooked in this special pan with minimum oil. They are beyond delicious, and they’re not greasy at all. If a popper could be gourmet, this one is! I think they’re going to be your new favourite.
These paneer poppers are quite adaptable too as you can play around with the vegetables added in them. The only thing to remember while making these poppers is to make sure the pan is hot. You need to get the pan hot, but not too hot, otherwise the spheres will cook on the outside, but not on the inside! Super soft from inside with a crisp crunchy texture from outside- these are surely crowd pleasers.
