Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Boil the potato until tender. Once cool, peel and grate it.
  • Crumble the paneer.
  • Boil the corn if using fresh corn.

Combine Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine the grated potato, crumbled paneer, rolled oats, boiled corn, paprika, garam masala, salt, and green chilies (if using).
  • Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Shape and Chill

  • Form the mixture into small patties or tikkis.
  • Refrigerate the tikkis for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This step is crucial for easier handling and better shape retention during cooking.

Cook the Tikkis

  • Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Carefully place the tikkis in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Serve

  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
  • Serve hot with your favorite chutney or ketchup.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Tikkis

  • For crispier tikkis, you can shallow fry them in a little more oil.
  • If you don't have fresh coriander, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried coriander powder.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies based on your spice preference. For milder tikkis, omit them entirely.
  • Leftover tikkis can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving.
