Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crumbled paneer
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
- Salt to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Mix the all-purpose flour and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the cold water little by little until the dough forms.
- Knead the dough briefly on a floured surface until smooth, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add cumin seeds.
- Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the crumbled paneer, followed by garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir to combine.

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into thin rectangles.
- Cut the rolled dough into squares, about 4 inches on each side.
- Place a spoonful of the paneer mixture in the center of each square.
- Fold the dough over to create triangles and press the edges to seal.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
Notes
Make sure to seal the edges tightly to avoid any filling leaking out during baking.
