Recipe:Stuffed Paneer Millet Patties (Cutlets)

Let's enjoy cooking !!

 

Paneer millet patties (or cutlets) are made from boiled potatoes, paneer (an Indian cheese), steamed green peas, and steamed millets (a type of seed). A bit of spice is added to give the patties a flavorful punch. This recipe calls for foxtail millet, which is cooked very similarly to rice: For each cup of millet being cooked, add in 1 ½ cups of water and cook over stovetop until softened. This recipe from Archana’s Kitchen takes about 40 minutes to complete and yields ten patties.

Ingredients:

• 3 potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed
• 2 tablespoons pf softened butter
• ½ cup of foxtail millet, cooked until soft
• ½ cup green peas, steamed with salt
• 1 teaspoon of roasted cumin powder
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped
• a large bunch of chopped coriander leaves
• salt to taste
• 1 ½ cups paneer, crumbled
• breadcrumbs
• oil for cooking

Directions: Combine the first eight ingredients together until it comes together like a dough. Divide the patty mixture into 10 equal balls and set aside.

Combine the paneer along with some salt and divide into 10 small balls and keep aside. Smear some oil in the palm of you hands and flatten the patty balls in the center of your palm. Place a paneer ball in the recipe and close the patty so the paneer is enclosed inside. Continue the same way with the remaining patty balls and the paneer balls and set them aside.

Preheat a skillet on medium heat; roll the patties on bread crumbs and place on heated skillet. Drizzle oil over the skillet and cook on medium heat until patties are evenly browned and crisp on both sides.

Depending on the size of your pan, you add add 2 to 3 patties at a time to cook. Using an iron skillet will help patties to crisp and cook evenly. Once crisped and cooked through, remove and enjoy!
