Tips:

you can use this same method  with panner, tofu, button mushrooms or baby corn. The only change you will make is to make a batter out of the cornstarch and dip the vegetables or paneer in the cornstarch batter before frying. Tofu doesn’t need a batter because it has a lot of moisture already, so simply tossing it in cornstarch is enough ...nojy...:)
