Ingredients

  • 2 Potatoes medium-sized
  • 100 gm Paneer
  • 50 Gm Walnuts
  • ¼ cup bread crumb
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • 1 tablespoon coriander leaves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon green chilli chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • Bread crumb for coating cutlets.

Instructions

  • First, boil the potatoes. Either in a pressure cooker, Instant pot or microwave.
  • Allow them to cool, peel them and grate them. I mostly have boiled potatoes in my fridge as a part of meal prep. You can prepare a lot of potato recipes with boiled potatoes.
  • Grate the paneer and keep it aside.
  • Powder Walnuts and keep them aside.
  • Now in a mixing bowl mix boiled grated potatoes, Grated paneer, crushed walnuts, fresh bread crumbs, arrowroot powder, chopped cilantro, chopped green chillies, red chilli powder, salt, grated ginger, coriander powder.
  • Mix them well and shape them into round cutlets.
  • Coat these cutlets into bread crumbs and crushed walnut mixture.
  • Now shallow fry these cutlets in hot oil till golden brown from both sides.
  • Drain out of oil and serve with chutney and enjoy!

Notes

You can add vegetables if you like. If you are using veggies, chop them finely.
If you don’t want to shallow fry you can bake them at 180 degrees celsius. You can also Air-fry if you wish to. 
You can skip chillies if you do not like them too spicy. 
Tofu can be used instead of paneer.
