Paneer Cutlets

My younger one ha now turned vegetarian, so when the father and the older one wanted roast chicken for dinner, I had to think of something with proteins for the younger one and myself. Since there was lots and lots of milk in the house, paneer cutlets it was for us! Recipe adapted from one taken from the Tarla Dalal site.

4 tbsp oil
2 tbsp cornflour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
200 gms grated paneer (cottage cheese)
1 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
bread crumbs/ sooji as required
salt to taste

MethodHeat the milk, add the cornflour, stirring continuously, till the mixture becomes thick.
Remove from the flame and add the grated paneer and mix well.
Add the mashed potatoes, mix well, add the salt, pepper and chilli powder.
Divide the batter into equal sized balls and flatten each ball into a pattice shape.
Roll each pattice in bread crumbs/rawa and chill for some time.
Heat a tava and cook the cutlets using little oil till they turn golden brown and crisp form both the sides.
Serve hot.
