    For the second day of Bitesize Appetizers, I have a Stuffed Paneer Croissants. These are not your flaky buttery croissants, rather yeasted rolls. However, these warm rolls are just right to lighten your time, when you are enjoying the time party. In spite of blending in the paneer into the dough, I also stuffed it spiced up, to ensure you get the spicy cheesy dig when you bite into it.

    Apart from paneer, I had ideas of stuffing cheese cubes. Then decided that my ideas seem to end up very monotonous, with cheese stuffed into every other snack. I know my kids will love cheese, but including that in everything seems so predictable. I know paneer falls in that category as well.

    Just the other day, seeing me work overtime, trying to get all the dishes done for July, Athamma was asking me if I was cooking for the blog for the next two months. I said I have about twenty plus posts to be done for a month.

    She was shocked and asked what I plan to make. I said I am aiming at simpler ones and she also nodded saying I must have blogged all of Amma's and hers already! Yes I know, even the simplest chutney has made an appearance.

    So coming back to the paneer Croissants, I hopping on blogs and landed at Archana's. I knew my kids will love it as they enjoyed the twisted Pizza sticks. I thought these might be interesting for them as well. I was very happy when Chinnu tasted it and said he liked it. He went on for the second one as well. Konda was going on encouraging him. I know it's a good thing he was not eating all-purpose loaded stuff. However nothing wrong with just tasting it. So in that way, I was much happier.

    If you are wondering why those ribbons seem to make an appearance, well those are my boy's handiwork. On a Sunday with about seven dishes to cover, I hardly have the energy to set this up. So I ended up asking for their help. They decided these ribbons will be great. I didn't want to discourage them. I am hoping with time and exposure, they will learn coordination soon.





    Paneer Crescents

    Ingredients Needed:

    For the Dough

    • 2 cups - All purpose flour
    • 1 & 1/2 tsp - Salt
    • 1 tsp - Sugar
    • 1/4 cup - Paneer, crumbled
    • 2 tbsp - Melted Butter
    • 1 & 1/2 tsp - Instant Yeast
    • 1/2 cup - Warm Milk
    • Water as required to knead to a soft dough

    For the Stuffing

    • 1/2 cup - Paneer, crumbled
    • 1 tsp - Red chili flakes
    • Salt to taste
    • Butter for glazing

    How to make the Paneer Crescents:

    • In a mixing bowl, take the flour, salt, crumbled paneer, instant yeast, olive oil, sugar, and warm water. Mix everything well together. Knead well.
    • Finally, add the melted butter and continue kneading till you get a soft dough. Cover and let it rise. Mine rose by 45 mins.
    • When ready to bake, punch it down softly and knead for a couple of mins again.
    • Dust and roll out as to a disc. Using a sharp knife slice through the middle and do a crisscross to get 4 pieces. Slice each again to get a thinner triangle.
    • Place a small serving of the spiced paneer in the outer wider place and start rolling from outer to inner, ensuring the stuffing is fully covered.
    • Continue with rest and place everything on a greased baking tray.
    • Bake in preheated oven at 185 C for 20 mins.
    • Brush with butter on top and bake for another 2 mins.
    • Serve warm.

    Notes:

    • Stuffing can be spicier if you want, can stuff with cheese as well. Top it with more spiced butter or any other topping if required.
    • Just before serving you can warm it for 20 -30 secs in a Microwave and pour spiced butter or sauce. You can serve this with some spicy dips as well.
