Starters are must for any parties or potluck. Many times the crispiness would be lost by the time we start consuming it. Recently I made Canapes Potato Paneer bites with green chutney for a family gathering and it became a super hit. Thin & crisp baked Canapes Cups topped with boiled potato & paneer and topped with green chutney made out of Dill, Coriander, mint and Thai Basil leaves.
Add a spoon of ghee to paneer cubes and microwave for a minute. This is not for frying the paneer, we just need to infuse ghee into paneer so that it does not taste raw
Wash and add Dill leaves, coriander leaves, mint leaves, Thai basil leaves, salt, chili, ginger, garlic into a mixer. Blend it with little water to a chutney consistency
Squeeze the lemon
Arranged the canapes cups
Add potato
Add paneer
Add the chutney on top and consume it immediately. Serve this similar to Pani puri else the canapes cups would become soggy as the chutney is not dry
Notes
Chutney should not be too watery.You may use Italian basil instead of Thai basil.Make sure the proportions of the leaves are same else the one with more quantity will override the taste and flavor of the others.You may arrange the canapes bites with potato and paneer and add the chutney before serving. However do not arrange the potato and paneer too well in advance. Canapes texture is like ice cream cone and the crispiness would be lost if you keep them out for a long time.
