Method
In a bowl, add the grated paneer, onion, green chilies, salt, pepper, red chilli powder, cumin powder, and coriander. Mix well.
Take a few bread slices and cut off the edges. Flatten out each slice using a rolling pin. Add the paneer filling on one side of the bread slice and tightly roll it. Brush a little bit of cornflour slurry on the edges to stick the bread together.
In a pan, heat up some oil and carefully add the cigars and fry them until crispy and golden brown on all sides.
