On a Friday night I was wondering what to make for dinner. Then this idea popped up. Prepared a quick tikki with Potatoes and paneer,served with a simple home made green chutney, store bought Imli(tamarind) Chutney and a salad. It was a satisfying meal and a perfect start for the weekend. Instead of Paneer you could add Tofu too. Since these tikkis are shallow fried they didn’t consume too much oil too. The following measurement yields upto 12-15 medium sized tikkis
Ingredients For Chutney
1 Bunch Coriander Leaves
1/4 cup coconut
1 Green Chilli
1/2 tbsp finely chopped ginger,garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tomato
Steps
Grind all the above the ingredients together
Add little water depending on the consistency you need
Adjust salt and serve this chutney with tikkis
Ingredients for Salad
1 Carrot
1 Radish
1 Onion
1/2 tbsp Lime Juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Pepper Powder
Steps
Grate carrot and radish
Finely chop the onions
Add lemon juce,salt and pepper powder
Give it a mix and serve them as a side salad for your meal
Ingredients for Tikkis
200 gms Paneer
3 Boiled Potatoes
1/4 cup Frozen Peas
1 Onion
1/2 tbsp Salt
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tbsp Corainder Powder
1/2 tbsp Garam Masala Powder
1/2 tsp chilli Powder
1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
Coriander Leaves
Oil for shallow frying
Steps
Grate Paneer using a grater
,mash the potatoes and in a wide bowl mix them both together
Heat a tsp of oil in a non-stick pan and finely add chopped onion
Add salt,turmeric,chilli powder,coriander powder one by one
Saute the onions until raw smell goes off
Add these masala onions to Potato Paneer mixture
At last add frozen peas
Divide them into 12 equal sized portions. Form tikkis and coat them on bread crumbs
Store the tikkis in fridge for 10-15 minutes. This will ensure that the spices are blended well with potato and paneer
Heat 2 tbsp Oil in a non-stick frying pan and place the tikkis
Wait until one side turns golden brown
Turn over to other and wait until the tikkis get cooked
When both sides are cooked, remove them from pan and serve them with chutney or sauces of your choice
