Twisted Paneer Parcels of Deliciousness

These beautiful golden paneer fans are my twist on samosas; they are filled with masala spiced paneer and peas and tied with garlic chives from my garden.  You could fill them with keema or prawns if you like too… the ultimate little bite food.  We served them with coriander and mint chutney, and they went down an absolute treat

Instructions

  1. Heat some oil in a frying pan over high heat until very hot, add paneer, turn the heat down slightly.

  7. Add the blitzed coriander and mint paste, turn the heat to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
  8. Add the paneer, peas, and salt, mix well and continue to cook for a few more minutes making sure there is no moisture in the pan and the mixture is quite dry. Set aside to cool
  9. Once the mixture is cooled, spread a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface in front of you and place 1 tablespoon of filling in the centre.
  10. Lift all the sides to cover and tie with a chive to make a neat little pouch; continue to make until all the filling is used up.
