Notes

Fry the paneer balls carefully as it may break at high temperature.
Never leave the temperature high and cook it will become charred or raw on the inside.
I have used processed cheese you can use cheddar cheese or even mozzarella.
Instead of cornflour you can add bengal gram flour for binding.
Can use store bought paneer I have used homemade paneer.
As we are adding cheese in the mixture itself salt should be added in moderation.
