Usually we all make paneer pakoda but I have tried something different today. Paneer popcorn is also a fried dish but its outside coating is very crispy and inside is soft and fluffy. Paneer popcorn is a very tasty dish loved by my kids. It is a super crunchy snack which goes well with a side salad, tomato sauce and mint mayonnaise.
