Notes

• Craving mozzarella cheese sticks but don't want the heaviness, bloat, and don't want to ruin your digestive system and add a bunch of toxins to your body? - Make this!

• Best with freshly made paneer but if you don't have that on hand and are short on time, you can use store-bought too.

• Pairs really well with a lighter soup like the green coconut soup, green mung bean soup, or green veggie soup. The lightness of the green veggies balances the heaviness of the paneer.

• Also great finger food for parties!
