- In a mixing bowl, take grated paneer. Add thick curd, maida and mix it well. You can adjust the maida and curd ratio. We want a smooth dough kinda texture.
- To the mixture add all spices, green chillies and chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything together.
- Make small kebabs/tikkis out of it.
- Fry them in hot oil on low flame till it become golden brown in color. Serve it with chutney.
Notes:
- We want a super smooth paneer dough. Add curd and maida accordingly. Dahi is used to get that "makhmali" texture and maida is the combining agent.
- Adjust the spices according to your taste.
- You can even serve it with coriander-dahi restaurant style chutney.
