I am a big fan of the paneer. As much as I am sure a regular intake isn't exactly the healthy choice, I do indulge in its sinfulness every now and again. This weekend was one such occasion as I dished out some pretty decent tasting Paneer Tikkas to go with my mixed vegetable sambar. So here is what I ended up making!
Ingredients
1) Paneer - packed / frozen - about 250 gms
2) 1 tablespoon Red Chilly powder
3) 1 tablespoon Turmeric powder
4) 1 tablespoon Coriander powder
5) 1 tablespoon ginger/garlic paste
6) 2 teaspoons lemon juice
7) 4-5 large tablespoons besan flour
8) Salt to taste
Method
1) Take a bowl and mix in it all the components from 2) to 7) with some water. The consistency has to the match that of a dosa batter.
2) Now cut the paneer into 1/2 inch pieces and dip them in the batter from above step.
3) Keep them soaked so that they get coated with the batter properly.
4) Now add some salt to this mixture and mix them well.
5) Heat oil in a deep dish pan and deep fry each paneer piece into it one by one until it turns golden brown.
6) Paneer is quite tender so it gets cooked quickly, so ensure you turn it around well in time.
7) Place the tikkas on a dry kitchen tissue so that the excessive oil is absorbed. And that's it!
Serve with whatever you are having with maybe tomato sauce or mint chutney and enjoy!
