Crispy Paneer and Pea Tikkis

Instructions

1. 1

   Mash the boiled potatoes and green peas together in a mixing bowl using a fork until broken down but slightly chunky.

2. 2

   Add crumbled paneer, ginger-chili paste, chopped cilantro, and half a teaspoon of salt to the potato mixture. Stir well.

3. 3

   Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a smooth, round flat patty with your palms.

4. 4

   Spread breadcrumbs on a shallow plate. Press each patty gently into the breadcrumbs to coat both sides evenly.

5. 5

   Heat vegetable oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan, ensuring they do not overlap.

6. 6

   Pan-fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until crisp and deep golden brown. Transfer to paper towels before serving warm.
