Spinach-paneer Balls


In the picture the balls look like any ordinary edible balls but they actually taste good. Everyone in my family finished it up! Recommended for spinach-haters as you won't actually feel the taste of spinach at all. Especially if you make them for kids, tell them it's just bread-paneer balls with some herbs.

Ingredients:
Bread slices (crushed in the mixer) - 10
Spinach - 1 bunch (washed, blanched and pureed)
Ginger, garlic, Green chilli paste - 1 tsp.
Garam masala - 1/2 tsp.
Lemon juice - 1/2 lemon
Salt (to taste)
Oil (for deep frying)

For marinating:
Paneer cubes - 150 gms
Lemon juice - half a lemon
Ginger-garlic-green chilli paste - 1 tsp.
Capsico sauce - 1 tsp.
Oregano - 1/2 tsp.
Pepper (powdered) - 1/4 tsp.
Salt
Corn flour (for rolling) - as required (optional)

Method:
Mix all the ingredients together in the marination and keep it aside for an hour.
Mix bread crumbs, ginger-garlic-green chilli paste, garam masala, lemon juice and salt in a bowl.
Bind the mixture into a dough using the spinach puree as required.
Take a small ball from the dough and flatten.
Stuff the marinated paneer in the dough and make balls.
Rub the balls in corn flour (it's optional as I didn't rub them in corn flour).
Fry in oil till they become crispy.
Remove from heat and serve hot with tomato ketchup.
