RecipePaneer Cutlet is a delicious gluten-free, vegetarian snack. It has a mouth-melting texture with a perfect crunch of corn kernels.

Store them in the refrigerator. Grate them instead of mashing them to make the cutlets. The leftover mashed potatoes aren’t a good fit for this cutlet recipe. Sweet Corn: You can use fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels. If they are slightly hard in texture, blanch them in hot water. Paneer (Cottage Cheese): Always grate the paneer to make cutlet and not crumble or mash. Gram Flour (Besan): For binding, I use gram flour. It gives a nutty taste to the paneer cutlet. You can use rice flour or all-purpose flour as well. Seasoning: Green Chilli, Ginger, Salt, Red Chili Powder, Chaat MasalaOther Ingredients: Chopped Onion, Fresh Coriander, Refined OilCutlet Recipe Variation For vegan cutlets, substitute paneer with tofu. Feel free to add finely chopped spinach, kale, cabbage, or fenugreek leaves in the cutlet mixture.Add grated cheddar/parmesan cheese in the cutlet mixture or place a small cube in the center while shaping the cutlets.For a crunchy exterior, you can coat cutlets in breadcrumbs before frying.

Meal Prep For Cutlet

Boil Potatoes: Boil potatoes in advance using a pressure cooker, instant pot, or microwave, peel them, and store them in the fridge a day before making the cutlet. 

Prepare Sweet Corn: Make a coarse paste of sweet corn in a food processor. Store in the refrigerator till required. If the corn kernels are a bit hard, you need to blanch them in salted water till tender. Allow them to cool before crushing and mixing in the cutlet dough.

Chop Vegetables: You can chop the onion, green chili, coriander, and ginger store in the refrigerator in meal prep friendly containers.
