Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer (cottage cheese)
- 2 medium Potatoes (boiled and mashed)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Cornflour
- 1 small Carrot (grated)
- 0.25 cup Green peas (boiled and mashed)
- 2 pieces Green chilies (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Oil
Instructions
Grate the paneer and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Add the boiled and mashed potatoes to the bowl.
Mix in the grated carrot, mashed green peas, finely chopped green chilies, grated ginger, and chopped coriander leaves.
Season the mixture with red chili powder, garam masala, chaat masala, and salt.
Add 2 tablespoons of cornflour to help bind the mixture together. Mix everything thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into cutlets or patties of your desired size.
Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate. Coat each cutlet evenly with breadcrumbs by gently pressing them into the crumbs.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place the cutlets in the pan and cook until golden brown and crisp on one side, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the cutlets carefully and cook on the other side until they are evenly golden and crisp.
Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the Cottage Cheese Paneer Cutlets hot with green chutney or ketchup.
