Chatay Paneer tastes like a mixture of Paneer Pakora and Paneer Cheela, making it perfect for both breakfast and evening snack. To make Paneer Pakora, we will dip the paneer pieces in gram flour solution and deep fry them. Paneer cheela, on the other hand, is made by cooking whole gram flour batter on a pan and then adding grated or grated cheese on top. This recipe combines both with a creative look. The batter is prepared into a mat or mat like shape on the pan and a stick of paneer is rolled in it, giving you a delicious and interesting looking Chata Paneer.

3 Pro Tips to Consider Before Heading into the Kitchen
Here are some helpful tips to make this recipe without any mess:
- When creating grid-like lines to get a mat pattern, make sure that the lines have the same width and are close to each other. This will make it easier to roll the paneer and give a neat look to the final dish.
- – Keep the flame low while rolling the paneer.
- Since the gram flour strips are thin, the batter will cook easily from all sides, and you don’t have to worry about raw batter.
