INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 pack (6oz) The Original Paneer, grated
• 1 sachet (2oz) Tandoori Masala Sauce
• 2 medium sized boiled potatoes, grated
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder 
• Salt, per taste
• 1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
• Any neutral Oil for frying

• Add grated potatoes and Paneer in a mixing bowl along with corn starch, salt, coriander and chili powder. Combine well and knead until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Cover and set aside or refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• Open & pour a sachet of SACH Tandoori Masala sauce in a small mixing bowl. Make a mix of Panko and salt to a separate bowl.
• Take a tablespoon of the paneer mixture and shape into medium sized balls/nuggets.
• One at a time, dip each ball into the tandoori sauce, allowing any excess sauce to drain back into the bowl as you remove it. You can also let the paneer potato balls marinate for 10-15mins in the Tandoori Sauce for a deeper flavor.
• Place the marinated paneer balls in Panko and turn balls until all sides are coated.
• Repeat the process with rest of the portions.
• Heat any neutral oil (like Canola or Avocado oil) in a dutch oven or wok over medium high heat to 300°F. Gently place a batch of these balls in oil and fry until crisp and golden brown. 
• Transfer the fried paneer nuggets to a paper towel-lined baking sheet or platter. Repeat the frying process with the remaining nuggets.
• Serve hot with the dip of your choice.
