Chilly Garlic Paneer Nuggets

Serves: 2

Ingredients

Method

Editor's Note: For vegan treats, use 100 gm grated vegan cheese instead of paneer.

For Jain treats, skip the onion and garlic and spice the dough up with saunth or dried ginger powder and hing or asafetida. Replace the potato with a boiled, peeled and mashed green banana.

For healthier nuggets use an air fryer. First preheat fryer to 200 °C. Cook them in the fryer for 5-7 minutes and flip and cook another 4-5 minutes more, till well browned.
