Instructions
- Set up your dredging station for the Paneer, then dip the cheese first in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
- In a small saucepan heat some vegetable oil, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot enough, fry the cheese. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Transfer the cheese to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Set aside.
- In another small pan, caramelize the onion with just a teaspoon of sugar. Once golden, remove and set aside.
- In a serving platter or bowl, arrange the salad leaves and desired veggies. Top with the fried paneer, caramelized onions, shavings of cheese, and croutons.
- In a small jar, mix all the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Shake well before serving over salad. Enjoy!
