Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, crumbled paneer, chopped onion, green chilies, grated ginger, fresh coriander, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round, flat tikkis. Make sure the tikkis are compact and hold their shape when frying.
-
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat for shallow frying. Place the tikkis on the pan, leaving some space between each tikki to ensure even cooking.
-
Cook the tikkis until the bottom side turns golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip them over using a spatula and cook the other side until it achieves the same golden brown color and crispy texture.
-
Once both sides are cooked to perfection, remove the tikkis from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve the Aloo Paneer Tikkis hot with your favorite chutney, yogurt dip, or mint-coriander chutney.
