In a bowl, combine grated paneer, breadcrumbs, maida, cornstarch, chopped onion, green chillies, coriander leaves, ginger-garlic paste, mozzarella cheese, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and combine everything together until it forms a dough-like consistency. Take a small portion of the paneer mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball.
Repeat this process with the remaining mixture. Now, heat oil in a kadhai set over medium heat. Carefully drop a few paneer balls into the oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once done, place them on a plate lined with kitchen towel to remove excess oil. Serve them hot as an appetiser or snack. Enjoy!
