I prepared this yummy paneer kofta when making Malai Kofta. After tasting some koftas, I felt it was a easy tea time snack. Infact that day we ate some Kofta just like that! I used the paniyaram pan, and it reduced oil usage significantly.
Ingredients:
Paneer grated – 200 grams
Pepper powder – 1/4 tsp
Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp (Optional)
Cornstarch/ All purpose flour – 2 tablespoon (I used all purpose flour)
Rice flour – 1 tsp
Sugar – 1/8 tsp (Optional)
Salt – as needed
Mixed nut – 2 tbsp (You can finely chop or use blender)
Method:
- Grate the paneer and mash it with hand. Add all purpose flour and rice flour, salt, pepper powder, sugar and cardamom powder
- Make a soft dough and divide into small portion and stuff chopped nuts into each portion. Shape them into balls
- Take a Panniyaram pan and once the pan is hot, grease them with oil and place the balls. Cook till they are golden brown both sides
- Delicious easy and quick Kofta is ready. Serve it with ketchup
My Notes:
- Add cornflour/ all purpose flour if you think its not binded properly
- Instead of using paniyaram pan can also deep fry them or bake it in 350 degree Fahrenheit
Taking this to Fiesta Friday 27
