paneer 65 recipe with step by step photos � quick and easy to make spicy paneer 65 recipe from hyderabadi cuisine.

this recipe is a simple and home style version of paneer 65. not like the restaurant version. i have had paneer 65 in restaurants and i have always got the taste of soy sauce and chili sauce in them. here there is no addition of soy sauce or chili sauce. have kept everything easy and simple for a home cook.

usually in paneer 65, there is no gravy. its a dry dish. but i have had a semi dry version too. there are many variations of paneer 65. this recipe is also a variation.

apart from paneer 65, you can also make aloo 65, mushroom 65 and so on. for a vegan option, substitute paneer with tofu or tempeh. this recipe is also gluten free version of paneer 65.

paneer 65 dish makes for a quick starter or snack recipe. you can serve paneer 65 hot as a starter or with some chapatis, naan or tandoori rotis.

lets start step by step paneer 65 recipe:

1. take 3 tbsp rice flour, 1 tbsp besan/gram flour and 2 tbsp corn starch in a mixing bowl. you can also take corn meal or maize flour (makki ka atta) instead of corn starch.

2. add the following spices & herbs � 1 tsp green chili paste, 1 tsp garlic paste, 1 tsp ginger paste, � tsp red chili powder, � to � tsp garam masala powder and � tsp lime juice. also add salt as required.

3. add 4 tbsp water.

4. whisk to a smooth medium consistency batter. you can also add a few drops of natural color. i used orange natural color extract. in case if the batter becomes thin, then add some more rice flour.

5. add 200 grams paneer cubes.

6. gently mix the paneer cubes with the batter. cover and allow to marinate for about 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature.

7. heat 5 tbsp oil in a pan. the oil should be medium hot. you can fry the paneer on a low to medium flame, regulating the flame while frying. coat the paneer cubes with the batter and add them to the hot oil. keep some space between the paneer cubes so that they don�t stick. i have shallow fried the paneer cubes but you can even deep fry. for a healthier version, pan fry with 2 or 3 tbsp oil. this will give less crisp paneer cubes.

8. once the base is done, flip and fry the other side. flip for a couple of times all the paneer cubes and fry till the outsides become crisp and golden. remember not to over fry the paneer cubes as then they become dense. i fried the paneer in two batches.

9. drain the fried paneer cubes on kitchen paper towels to remove excess oil.

10. in the same pan, heat 2 tsp oil. add � tsp mustard seeds. almost all of the oil will be used up while frying paneer. if there is some oil left in the pan, then no need to add the 2 tsp oil. just add the mustard seeds to the same oil. mustard seeds are optional and skip if you don�t have them.

11. after the mustard seeds crackle, add � tsp chopped ginger, � tsp chopped garlic, 2 to 3 green chilies chopped diagonally, 1 to 2 dry red chilies and 6 to 7 curry leaves. stir well.

12. then add 3 tbsp chopped onions.

13. stir and saute the onions till they turn translucent.

14. add 2 to 3 pinches of salt and � tsp sugar. you can skip sugar if you want. i add a bit of sugar as it balances the spiciness of the dish and tastes good.

15. stir again well.

16. add the fried paneer cubes.

17. mix and toss the paneer cubes with the rest of the sauteed ingredients. check the taste and add more salt, sugar or green chilies if required. switch off the flame.

18. lastly add chopped coriander leaves. stir.

19. serve paneer 65 hot plain as as a starter or with some chapatis, naan or tandoori rotis or bread.
