Paneer pockets

Paneer is the star ingredient in most Indian dishes.Anything with paneer we just love to eat.When I was thinking what else I can cook with paneer,as I already prepared lot of paneer dishes,so thought of doing this easy yummy appetizer.It is great snack during kids parties and get togethers.My elder one is a foodie,he loves to eat paneer any form. Though both my kids are chicken lovers I regret to cook non vegeterian some specific days in a week.Those days I prepare paneer varieties.Yesterday when My son came back from school I surprised with this yummy snack.He just love it.I'm posting this recipe in Blogging Marathon #50 under the theme one ingredient different dishes.Here goes my recipe.
