Bread Paneer Cutlet Recipe

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Makes : 10-12
Recipe Category : Snack | Recipe Cuisine : Indian

Ingredients:

Bread (White/brown) - 4 slices
Potatoes - 2 (Boiled & mashed)
Paneer (Shredded) - 3 tbsp
Onion (Medium) - 1/2 (finely chopped)
Capsicum - 1/4 (finely chopped)
Cilantro - few (finely chopped)
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Kashmiri/Red chill powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp
Chaat masala - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Corn flour - 1 tbsp
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Salt as needed

Method:

1. Cut the sides of the bread & crumble the slices as small as possible.

2. Boil the potatoes. Mash it well & add to the bread crumbles. Add the chopped onions.

3. Shred the Paneer & add it followed by the chopped Capsicum & ginger garlic paste.

 4. In a small bowl mix the turmeric, garam masala, chaat masala & red chilli powders & add it to the mixture. Then add the corn flour, chopped cilantro & salt to it.

 
 5. Now combine everything well to form a dough. Don't add water to it as the moisture in onion & potato itself is enough to form the dough. It should be non sticky. Grease your hands with oil & make round shapes & flatten it thick.  Or you can make heart shaped  cutlets if you wish.

6. Add oil in a pan & shallow/deep fry till the cutlets turn golden brown. Flip the sides for shallow frying till both sides turn brown.

7. Serve it hot with tomato ketchup/hot chilli sauce.

Points to be noted:

• You can even add carrots & peas to it if you wish. 
• If you dont have Paneer just skip it.
• Never add water while making the dough.
• If your chilli powder is too hot, just add 1/4 tsp.
