Ingredients

• 200 grams Cottage cheese (paneer)
• 2 medium Boiled potatoes
• 1 small Carrot (grated)
• 50 grams Green peas (boiled and mashed)
• 1 small Green chili (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Cornflour
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Crumble the cottage cheese (paneer) into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and mash the boiled potatoes, then add them to the bowl with the cottage cheese.

Step 3

Add the grated carrot, mashed green peas, finely chopped green chili, and grated ginger into the mixture.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper powder, and garam masala. Add the chopped coriander leaves for freshness.

Step 5

Mix everything gently but thoroughly to create a cohesive mixture.

Step 6

Gradually add breadcrumbs to the mixture and knead lightly until it can be shaped into patties. Adjust with a little more breadcrumbs if the mixture is too sticky.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round, flat patties of about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix cornflour with a few tablespoons of water to create a thin batter.

Step 9

Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Dip each patty into the cornflour batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and then place it on the hot skillet.

Step 11

Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if needed.

Step 12

Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 13

Serve the patties hot with your choice of green chutney, tomato ketchup, or yogurt dip.
