Ingredients
Canapés Cups
- 20 pieces Canapés Cups baked
Filling
- 1 medium Potato
- 20 cubes Cottage Cheese
- 1 tsp Ghee
Green Chutney
- 40 gm Dill or 1 small bunch
- 40 gm Coriander or 1 small bunch
- 40 gm Mint or 1 small bunch
- 40 gm Thai Basil or 1 small bunch
- 1 inch Ginger
- 5 clove Garlic
- 2 Chilies green
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
Instructions
- Boil the potato until tender. Drain and mash thoroughly.
- Place the paneer cubes in a bowl. Add the ghee and microwave for 1 minute. This infuses the paneer with the ghee's rich flavor and prevents it from tasting raw.
- Combine the dill, cilantro, mint, Thai basil, salt, green chilies, ginger, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Add a little water and blend until a smooth chutney forms.
- Squeeze in the lemon juice and blend briefly to combine.
- Arrange the baked canapés cups on a serving platter.
- Fill each canapés cup with a spoonful of mashed potato.
- Top the potato with a cube of ghee-infused paneer.
- Spoon a generous dollop of green chutney over the paneer. Serve immediately to prevent the canapés from becoming soggy.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Ensure the chutney isn't too watery.
- Italian basil can be substituted for Thai basil.
- Maintain the proportions of leaves to balance the flavors.
- You can assemble the canapés with potato and paneer and add the chutney just before serving. Avoid arranging the potato and paneer too far in advance to preserve their crispness.
Expert Tips
- For a smoother chutney, lightly blanch the herbs before blending.
- If making a large batch, taste and adjust seasonings after the chutney cools, as flavors can intensify.
- Consider adding a touch of sweetness (like honey or jaggery) to balance the savory elements of the chutney.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
