Paneer-Potato Fingers

This is a very simple and easy finger food for the vegetarians. One of Neha’s favourite and I make it for her birthday party every year. You can either fry these in hot oil or the health conscious ones can opt to shallow fry them in a non stick grill pan. I usually shallow fry them in my grill pan. Tastes yummy as it is or can be dipped in tomato sauce or mint chutney or coriander chutney.

Ingredients:

• Paneer 200 gm
• Potato 4-5 medium ones
• Salt to taste
• Red chilli powder 1 tsp
• Chat masala 1 tsp
• Coriander leaves 3-4 sprigs
• Bread slices 2

Method:

• Boil the potatoes and mash them well when it is cooled.
• Crumble the paneer and add it to the mashed potatoes.
• Pulse the bread slices in a mixer till it is crumbly and finely chopped the coriander leaves.
• Add the salt, chilli powder, chat masala and coriander leaves to the paneer-potato-bread crumb mixture and mix it well.

• Shape them into kebabs or rolls or fingers or any fancy shape.

• Keep them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
• Deep fry them in hot oil or simple sprinkle 1 teaspoon of oil in a non stick grill pan and shallow fry them till they are nice, crispy and golden in colour.

• Serve them hot with any dip of your choice and impress your loved ones 🙂
