For the second day of Bite size Appetizers, I have a Stuffed Paneer Croissants. These are not your flaky buttery croissants, rather yeasted rolls. However these warm rolls are just right to lighten your time, when you are enjoying time party. In spite of blending in the paneer into the dough, I also stuffed it spiced up, to ensure you get the spicy cheesy dig when you bite into it.
Apart from paneer, I had ideas of stuffing cheese cubes. Then decided that my ideas seem to end up very monotonous, with cheese stuffed into every other snack. I know my kids will love cheese, but including that in everything seems so predictable. I know paneer falls in that category as well.

Just the other day, seeing me work overtime, trying to get all the dishes done for July, Athamma was asking me if I was cooking for the blog for the next two months. I said I have about twenty plus posts to be done for a month. She was shocked and asked what all I plan to make. I said I am aiming at simpler ones and she also nodded saying I must have blogged all of Amma's and hers already! Yes I know, even the simplest chutney has made an appearance.
So coming back to the paneer Croissants, I hopping on blogs and landed at Archana's. I knew my kids will love it as they enjoyed the twisted Pizza sticks. I thought these might be interesting for them as well. I was very happy when Chinnu tasted it and said he liked it. He went on for second one as well. Konda was going on encouraging him. I know its a good thing he was not eating all purpose loaded stuff. However nothing wrong in just tasting it. So in that way I was much happier.
If you are wondering why those ribbons seem to make an appearance, well those are my boy's handiwork. On a Sunday with about seven dishes to cover, I hardly have energy to set this up. So I ended up asking their help. They decided these ribbons will be great. I didn't want to discourage them. I am hoping with time and exposure, they will learn the coordination soon.

Stuffing can be more spicy if you want, can stuff with cheese as well. top it with more spiced butter or any other topping if required.
Just before serving you can warm it for 20 -30 secs in MW and pour spiced butter or sauce. You can serve this with some spicy dips as well.
