Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Paneer Marinade

   Cut paneer into small cubes. In a bowl, combine the paneer cubes with red chili powder, oregano, garam masala, ginger garlic paste, and salt. Mix well to ensure all paneer pieces are evenly coated with the spices.

2. 2.Assemble Butterfly Snacks

   Take a thin slice of potato. Place a marinated paneer cube in the center of the potato slice. Fold the potato slice around the paneer to create a 'butterfly' shape, then secure it firmly with a toothpick. Repeat this process for all the paneer cubes and potato slices.

3. 3.Deep Fry the Snacks

   Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the assembled paneer butterfly snacks into the oil. Fry them in batches until the potato slices turn golden brown and crispy, and the paneer is lightly browned. This should take approximately 3-5 minutes per batch.

4. 4.Season and Serve

   Remove the fried snacks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with chaat masala and black salt for added flavor. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander and serve hot with your favorite ketchup or chutney.
