Make a batter with flour and water(like pan cake batter) and spread bread crumbs on a tray. Heat enough oil in a frying pan. When it is hot reduce the heat. Take one diamond, dip in the flour batter and coat well with bread crumbs. Now drop it slowly into the hot oil. Fry in slow flame until golden brown on both sides. Increase the heat, take out with a slotted spoon,keep on paper towels. Fry 2 cutlets at a time. Again reduce the heat,start the next batch. Delicious Paneer cutlet is ready.
