21. Some times I just coat it with the plain flour and shallow fry it.
22. There should be enough oil, to fry the paneer sticks.
23. Heat the oil and shallow or deep fry, the paneer sticks, till the sesame seeds are cooked, you cook till it is light brown or dark brown as per your tatse or till the coating is cooked well.
24. Some may like the sesame seeds taste and some may not, but it is your wish, as in this paneer stick only the sesame seeds taste will be dominating.
25. Serve it with any green chutney or any sauce you like.

Notes

1. I have made 2 varities of paneer stick, in the potato dough mixture, so the quantity of paneer sticks will be less like 4 to 5 in each mixture.
2. You can make any variety of paneer stick according to your taste; can reduce the spice for the children.
3. Paneer sticks are coated with bread crumbs or sesame seeds, you can coat the paneer sticks as per your taste.
4. If you want can take 1/4th plain flour add salt and water to make it watery mixture and dip the paneer sticks in the maida (plain flour water mixture) and cover or coat it with bread crumbs and deep fry it.
5. If you want can add garam masala, green chillies, coriander leaves, chat masala, lemon juice in the potato dough mixture, can add the ingredients according to your taste, to make tasty paneer stick.
