Paneer amritsari recipe for toddlers & kids

Paneer amritsari recipe for toddlers & kids – A quick and delicious tawa paneer tikka without using curd. Paneer amritsari is a starter that is served in some of the North Indian restaurants here in Singapore. The dish is extremely aromatic and delicious but it is deep fried. A few trials to make it at home without deep frying lead me to this recipe. It uses the same marinade as the restaurant style starter.

This turns no less than the one we would enjoy in the restaurant here. This paneer amritsari just takes 10 minutes and surprisingly it makes one of the best paneer tikka that any one can make all without even using yogurt.

The dish is mildly spiced and the besan gets roasted well which gives the dish a great aroma.

It goes great as a starter, after school snack or inside wraps/ kati rolls with some additional veggies. The same marinade I even use for making the tikka for Paneer pulao.

Paneer amritsari can be made for kids & toddler parties. It also goes good in lunch box and can be paired with any rice varieties as a side.

How to make paneer amritsari

1. Add paneer, red chilli powder, kasuri methi, ajwain, garam masala, salt, amchur powder, ginger garlic paste and besan to a bowl.

2. Sprinkle very little water and toss to coat the paneer well with this masala.

3. Heat oil in a pan. Add the paneer and begin to roast them well.

4. Paneer cubes may stick to each other, you will have to separate them gently while sauteing. Do not over cook. When the raw smell of the besan goes away turn off and move to a plate.

Garnish with coriander leaves and onion wedges. Skew them or put them on to picks. Serve warm or hot. Do not leave them in the pan else they may get cooked further & turn rubbery.
