Bread Paneer Pockets as the name suggests bread is stuffed with paneer filling. This can be had as an appetizer or as a snack. Paneer is almost liked by all and this can be prepared as a party starter too. I have used homemade paneer and frozen peas. You can even use fresh peas.
If you have bread and paneer handy this can be prepared within 15 mins. The masalas used are simple ingredients which are available in our pantry. The crispy outer crust of the bread and soft filling takes this yummy recipe to the next level. This paneer filling is mildly flavored and kids also will like this a lot. When the bread is deep fried it always absorbs a lot of oil in it. In order to prevent this keep the flame in medium high. So that once you drop the bread pockets it will be cooked within a min. Either you can shallow fry as I did or you can deep fry it. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
