Cheesy Paneer Onion Rings are a deep-fried snack prepared from rings of onions where they are stuffed with grated mozzarella cheese and paneer (Indian cottage cheese).

I tried to recreate the classic onion rings by stuffing cheese and paneer mixture along with some spices and then deep-fried until golden brown. These savory crispy finger-food is a perfect side dish with vegetable burgers or sandwiches.

How to Make Cheesy Paneer Onion Rings

In a large bowl, add all the above ingredients and mix well to form a dough.
Take an onion, cut it into slices, and separate rings.
Now stuff a spoonful of paneer cheese mixture into rings and press gently.
Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
Make maida slurry paste by mixing maida and water.
Take a stuffed onion ring, dip it into maida paste and then roll over bread crumbs.
Deep fry until golden brown in medium-hot oil.
Cheesy Paneer Onion Rings are ready.

Tips & Variations

I like to use a sweet onion such as Vadalia onion. If you can’t find this variety, use a yellow onion.
You can also air fry or bake these stuffed onion rings.
They taste the best when served immediately after being cooked.
You can bread the onion rings ahead of time and refrigerate them. When you are ready to serve, you can air fry or deep fry them.
