1

Start by preparing the wonton skin by adding salt, vinegar, and water to refined flour.

2

Knead a tight dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes, covered with a wet muslin cloth.

3

Cut paneer into small fingers or croquet shapes and transfer to a bowl.

4

Marinate the paneer with ginger garlic paste, black pepper, local chili sauce, and salt.

5

Prick holes into the paneer pieces with a fork to help the marinade seep in.

6

Add refined flour to the marinated paneer to help the threads stick firmly.

7

Prepare the wonton dough by rolling it into a thin sheet, using cornstarch to prevent sticking.

8

Cut the rolled dough into thin strands to create threads.

9

If using, cover the paneer with boiled flat noodles or readymade spring roll sheets instead of wonton skin.

10

Let the wrapped paneer rest for about 10 minutes to ensure the strands adhere properly.

11

Heat oil on a slow to medium flame for frying.

12

Gently submerge the wrapped paneer into the oil, pressing gently from the sides with chopsticks or a spoon.

13

Remove the paneer when it is almost done, as it will continue to cook from residual heat.

14

Serve the thread paneer with salad, lemon juice, salt, and Schezwan sauce.
