How to make paneer cutlet, paneer cutlet recipe

How to make paneer cutlet

Paneer cutlet is a easy, quick to prepare snack idea for evening. Full video, step by step detailed pictures of no onion no garlic paneer cutlet recipe.

I have tried paneer cutlet only once before this. Have not thought making cutlet with paneer until when I tasted in Bikanervala when Aj ordered it. I liked the way they had shaped into hearts, wanted to try the same way but somehow forgot and made a regular shape. Last time when I tried after seeing a Youtube video was with onion, I wanted to make a no onion no garlic version, so used the same recipe as in my paneer pasanda recipe. But since this is had as snack, I added masala powders to make it more flavourful and tasty.

It turns out super soft and delicious. I thought I should make this often. I kept the recipe simple without any additions other than potato, but you can fortify with carrot or other veggies. But make sure to chop really fine, otherwise you will have difficult time keeping the cutlet in shape while cooking.

Notes

  • I usually microwave potato for 2 or 3 mins (wash, prick in 2-3 places). This ensures no water is retained in the potato, so no sogginess.
  • Potato, maida are added for binding. If your cutlet breaks, you can add more maida or even grind a bread slice and mix with the mixture for troubleshooting. Adjust spice accordingly. 
  • If you want to make this cutlets gluten free, you can use gram flour for binding, corn flour for coating.
  • Grinding paneer in mixer ensures really fine crumble and helps in binding easily.
