Prepare -
In a bowl add salt, maida, cornflour and egg. Mix it to make a nice consistent paste. you may use water if required but be careful. start with a little first.
To check the consistancy is right or not, take a spoon of it and drop it into the bowl for a little height. If it falls nicely then its perfect.

Now add the Paneer/Cottage cheese cubes intop this mixture

Mix it well but dont be harsh as cubes may break
Now, take oil in a pan and heat it well. Deep fry the cottage cheese cubes. just make them light golden brown.
PLace then on a paper towel and set them aside.

Take 2 tbs of oil in another pan. Add Cummin seeds to it .
Once they begin to pop, add the chopped garlic
After a minute add the ginger - garlic paste
Add chopped Green chillies - about 2 ...more if your tolerance level is high!
