GOLDEN PANEER VEG CUTLETS

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Paneer Veg Patties
For perfect paneer veg patties, always cool the sautéed vegetables completely before mixing to prevent sogginess. Freshly grated paneer enhances both texture and taste. If the mixture feels too soft, add a little bread crumbs for binding. Refrigerate the patties for 30 minutes before frying to help them hold shape. For a crispy finish, coat each patty once in slurry, then roll in bread crumbs before frying.
