Paneer kofta | Paneer balls | paneer recipe
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
Instructions
- 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 ballsIMG_8823
- 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
