Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes, already boiled and completely cooled (about 1½ cups mashed)
- 150 g paneer, crumbled and patted dry
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs, plus 1 tbsp if the mixture is wet
- 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- ¼ tsp garam masala (optional)
- ½ tsp salt, adjust to taste
- 2–3 tbsp oil for shallow-frying
How to make it
- Mash the fully cooled boiled potatoes smoothly and crumble the paneer. These timings assume the potatoes have already been cooked; allow separate time for boiling and cooling if starting from raw.
- Combine potato, paneer, breadcrumbs, coriander, salt, cumin and optional chilli and garam masala. Mix gently until it holds together.
- Divide into twelve portions and shape into small flattened patties. If the mixture is very wet, add breadcrumbs a tablespoon at a time rather than coating it heavily.
- Refrigerate the shaped patties for about fifteen minutes while arranging the pan and serving plate. Keep them chilled if cooking later.
- Heat a little of the oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Cook one test tikki until golden on both sides and hot through, turning only when the first side has set.
- Cook the remaining patties in batches, adding the rest of the measured oil as needed. Serve warm, with sauces your household likes and clear wheat and dairy information for guests.
Good to know
- Wet paneer or hot potatoes make a fragile mixture; cool and dry the ingredients first.
- This measured version is pan-cooked. A separate method is needed for oven or air-fryer cooking times.
