Aloo Paneer Tikki is an easy, delicious Indian snack perfect for your evening hunger pangs. This crispy, golden-brown patty combines the comforting goodness of potatoes (aloo) with the rich creaminess of Indian cottage cheese (paneer), all spiced to perfection.
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1 cup Paneer crumbled / grated
- 1 Onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon Coriander Leaves finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste
- 1 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- ½ teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
- ½ teaspoon Chaat Masala Powder
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoon Cornflour for binding
- Oil for deep or shallow frying
Instructions
- Boil potatoes until fully done. Peel the skin and mash the potatoes well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and crumbled paneer. Mix well until they're evenly incorporated.
- Add chopped onion to the potato-paneer mixture.
- Add ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, chaat masala, and salt. Mix everything well.
- Add the cornflour to the mixture. This will help bind everything together and give your tikkis that perfect texture.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round, flat patties. Wet your hands slightly while shaping the tikkis to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- Heat oil in a pan, deep fry on a medium flame until the tikkis turn golden brown.
- Once done, remove the tikkis from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- If you dont want to deep fry, heat a little oil in a tawa / non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, gently place the tikkis in the pan.
- Cook the tikkis for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with green chutney or sauce.
