Method
* In a blender, add red chillies, ginger, garlic cloves, coriander seeds, black pepper. Add sufficient water and blend the ingredients well.
* Empty the paste in a bowl. Add yogurt and lemon juice to it. Now add some rice flour and salt. Mix well with a spoon.
* As you mix, add some water so that the paste is neither too thick nor too runny. Set aside.
* Take some paneer and slice it into small cubes.
* Dip each cube of paneer into the bowl of paste made earlier to give a coating.
* Take some roasted vermicelli, crumbled into small pieces. After coating the paneer cubes, put them one by one in the bowl of vermicelli so that it forms another coating.
* Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the paneer cubes. Your kurkure paneer is ready.
