2. Further grate & add the cheese along with the remaining ingredients of the filling & mix really well.
3. Your filling for breadpockets is ready.
4. To make the breadpocket take 2 bread slices & flatten them out completely using a rolling pin & apply a splash of water onto the breads, doing this step will prevent the bread from soaking too much oil.
5. Further place a spoonful of the filling in the centre of the bread & place the second bread slice on top of it.
6. Now using a glass, bowl or a round cutter cut the bread & filling portion out, you can use the sides & the bread trimmings to make breadcrumbs.
7. Further seal the edges of the pocket using a fork, your breadpocket is ready to be fried, shape all the breadpockets similarly.
8. Heat oil in a deep pan until it gets moderately hot (170 C) then drop the pockets carefully into the hot oil & fry them until light golden brown & crisp.
9. Once friend transfer them into a sieve so that all the excess oil drips off.
10. Your cheesy paneer breadpockets are ready, serve them hot with some ketchup & mayo.
