Paneer cutlet | Paneer tikki | Kids paneer snacks recipes

By swasthi , on August 22, 2019, 52 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Paneer cutlet recipe or paneer tikki – Cutlet is one of the delicious, easy, healthy and best after school snacks for kids. Paneer is one of the most important sources of protein and calcium for vegetarian Indians. Just like most kids, mine too love paneer and especially these paneer cutlets are their favorite snack.

paneer cutlet

This paneer cutlet is mostly made in our home for the kids after school as a evening snack. It can be used as a patty for vegetable burger or can be relished as it is or can be used to make a chat. I have never tried this deep frying. I always prefer to bake them or shallow fry. I tawa fry as well, with the left over mix most of the times.

Baking these is super easy, just mix up everything and make the paneer cutlet. Bake them until golden. I have not coated these in bread crumbs and kept the recipe simple.

You can use any kind of veggies along with paneer to make these paneer cutlets. Carrots, peas, potato, sweet potatoes & sweet corn are some of the vegetables that go well.

    Hi Swasthi,

    I tried this without using pudina. They tasted good.
    They turned out to be very soft. How can I get them as little crunchy? Please let me know.
    My kid liked them very much.

      Hi Shravani
      I have updated the recipe, probably the soaked bread slices made the cutlet soft. You can use dry bread crumbs or powdered poha to make the dough firm. This is a very old post, I use to make earlier with soaked bread slices. Now I make with powdered poha. They turn out good and crisp as well. Hope this helps. Thanks for trying
