  3. Add vinegar and soy sauce and whisk the mixture well. Add the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and cornstarch (if you choose to use it). To ensure the batter has a thick consistency, add some water as needed.
  4. Cut paneer into cubes, squares or any shape you desire. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon all-purposeflour over the paneer to prevent them from becoming moist. Set aside.
