Ingredients
- 🧀200 g paneer
- 🥔1 medium potato, boiled and mashed
- 🌿¼ cup fresh coriander, chopped
- 🌶️1 green chili, finely chopped
- 🧄1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 🌰½ tsp cumin powder
- 🧡½ tsp garam masala
- 🌾2 tbsp besan (chickpea flour)
- 🍋1 tbsp lemon juice
- 🌻1 tbsp oil
- 🧂 salt, to taste
Pro tips
- For extra crispiness, you can brush a little oil on the tikkis before baking.
- Ensure the paneer is fresh for the best texture and flavor.
- Don't over-mash the potato; a little texture is fine.
Method
- 1Crumble the paneer into a large mixing bowl. Add the mashed potato, chopped coriander, green chili, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, garam masala, besan, and salt.
- 2Mix all ingredients well until a uniform dough-like consistency is formed. Add lemon juice and mix again.
- 3Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round or oval tikki (patty).
- 4Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking tray with oil.
- 5Place the tikkis on the greased baking tray, ensuring they are not touching.
- 6Bake for 12-15 minutes, then flip the tikkis and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 7Serve hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
