Paneer cutlet recipe | Millet paneer cutlet

Paneer cutlet with millet, i tried this for the first time in a cookery class here in Singapore. Even when i was trying this at home before the class, it was a loved by everyone. Also it was a super hit recipe in the class too. Paneer and cooked millet are the main ingredients and gram flour |kadalai maavu is used for binding. It is a perfect starter for parties. Also you can stuff this inside the burger and serve for kids. I won’t say this is a healthy cutlet recipe but you can make it healthy by cooking the cutlets on a pan.

  • In a wide bowl, add the crumbled paneer, cooked millet, besan, capsicum, onion,red chili powder, garam masala, salt, coriander leaves and mint leaves.

Notes:
  • I used barnyard millet(samai). You can use any millet of your choice.
  • Ensure the rice is not cooked with too much water.
  • Instead of besan flour, you can use rice flour or maida too.
  • Finely grated carrots, broccoli can also be added.
  • Always fry this in a medium flame.
  • Instead of paneer potato can be used.
  • You can tawa fry the cutlets, if doing so dry roast the gram flour for 5 to 7 minutes till emits a nice aroma and add to the paneer mixture.
  • Paneer cutlet with millet stays good even after 30 minutes from frying.
