Cigar Roll Shots

Cigar Roll Shots are a creative and eye-catching party appetizer that combines crispiness, flavor, and fun presentation in one bite. Thin dough sheets are filled with a delicious mixture of paneer, sweet corn, and spinach, then rolled into elegant cigar shapes and deep-fried until golden and crunchy. These crispy rolls are served standing upright in small shot glasses filled with sweet chili sauce, making them perfect for gatherings, celebrations, or starter menus.

The dish offers a delightful contrast of textures — crunchy on the outside and soft, savory, and slightly creamy on the inside — while the sweet and spicy dip enhances the overall taste. Easy to prepare yet impressive to serve, these cigar roll shots are ideal for anyone looking to add a unique fusion snack to their recipe collection.

2. Once the oil is hot, gently slide a few cigar rolls into the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
3. Fry the rolls on medium heat to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
