  8. The paneer mixture is ready, add it in the suji mixture we prepared earlier.
  9. In the same bowl add some fresh coriander, salt and water. Mix till it gets a medium consistency batter. It shouldn’t be very thick nor thin.
  10. Finally add the fruit salt and gently mix it again.
  11. To make the paneer rosties, in a pan add oil and pour a large spoonful of the mixture in it.
  12. Cover it with a lid and cook from both slides for 4-5 minutes or till it gets a crispy texture and golden brown colour.
  13. Serve it with the chutney we prepared.
