Paneer patties, also known as paneer cutlets, are a delicious and crispy snack made with mashed paneer, potatoes, and aromatic spices. They are easy to make and can be served as a tea-time snack, an appetizer, or even in burgers. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making paneer patties at home.
Ingredients:
For the Patties:
200g paneer (cottage cheese), grated
2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
½ teaspoon red chili powder
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon chaat masala
½ teaspoon cumin powder
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
For Coating & Frying:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (maida)
2 tablespoons cornflour
¼ cup water (for making the slurry)
½ cup bread crumbs (for coating)
Oil for shallow frying
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Paneer Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, add the grated paneer and mashed potatoes. Mix them well.
Add the chopped onions, green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste.
Now, add red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt.
Pour in lemon juice and mix everything thoroughly.
To bind the mixture, add 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs and knead it into a smooth dough. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more bread crumbs.
Step 2: Shaping the Patties.
Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball.
Flatten it gently to form a round patty. Repeat this process for the remaining mixture.
Keep the patties aside while you prepare the coating.
Step 3: Preparing the Coating
In a small bowl, mix all-purpose flour and cornflour with water to make a smooth slurry. It should have a thin, flowing consistency.
Spread bread crumbs on a plate for coating.
Step 4: Coating the Patties
Dip each paneer patty into the slurry, ensuring it is well coated.
Roll it in the bread crumbs so that the patty gets a crispy outer layer.
Repeat for all the patties and place them on a plate.
Step 5: Frying the Patties
Heat oil in a pan over medium flame for shallow frying.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan and cook until golden brown on one side.
Flip them carefully and cook the other side until crisp and golden.
Once done, remove them and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve hot with mint chutney, tomato ketchup, or tamarind chutney.
You can also use these patties as a filling for burgers or sandwiches.
Sprinkle some chaat masala on top for extra flavor.
Tips:
To make the patties healthier, you can air-fry or bake them instead of frying.
If the mixture feels too soft, add more bread crumbs for better binding.
You can also stuff them with cheese for a cheesy surprise inside!
Enjoy your homemade crispy and delicious paneer patties!
