Paneer Vegetable Cutlets

Paneer Cutlets
Fall 2014 is here with chilly weather and beautiful colors. Well, its time for cheesy, fried goodness. Paneer cutlets with colorful veggies are the perfect snack for such wintry days. 
Any kind of cheese is comfort food, but Indian Cottage Cheese is one of our family favorites. 

Ingredients:
Paneer/Indian Cottage Cheese - 200 gm
Boiled Potato - 1 big
Grated Carrots - about 1/2 cup
Green Peas - 1/2 cup
Green Chilies - 4 or 5
Cilantro/Coriander Leaves - few sprigs
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Chat Masala - 1/2 tsp
Corn Starch - 1 cup
Bread Crumbs - 1 1/2 cups
Salt
Oil

 How to make Vegetable and Cheese Cutlets:
  • Finely chop green chilies and cilantro. Make sure the frozen green peas are thawed. You don't want too much moisture in the cutlet mix.
Veggie cutlets
  • In a mixing bowl, add grated or mashed boiled potato, grated paneer, carrots and green peas. Mash the green peas lightly. Next, add cilantro, green chilies, salt, garam masala and chat masala. Mix well. Taste for salt and other seasonings.
  • Divide the cutlet mix into 8 balls and slightly flatten them like a patty.
Vegetable Cutlets
  • In another mixing bowl, add corn starch and little salt. Add little water at a time and make a smooth paste.
  • Pour the bread crumbs in a big plate.
  • Heat oil for deep frying in a kadhai or a pan. Dip each cutlet patty in the corn starch paste, followed by bread crumbs. Fry the breaded cutlets in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.
Serve hot Paneer Cutlets with ketchup or Pudina Chutney.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
