    About this recipe

    Tikki/cutlet is an easy-to-make snack or finger food that is most commonly made with potatoes. A tikki is shallow-fried, unlike fritters which are deep-fried. In this recipe, I am using paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and oats along with potatoes and spices. They have a slight crunch on the outside with a soft center.

    Healthy yet delicious oats and paneer tikki/cutlet are great for breakfast, snack, and lunch boxes too. This snack is very easy to make and can be served as an appetiser too. The best part is you can make the cutlets and freeze it. Pull out a few to enjoy with a cup of tea or make them when the guests arrive.

    Ingredients to make oats and paneer tikki/cutlet

    Rolled oats: I use thick rolled oats to make these tikkis.

    Paneer: Paneer is Indian cottage cheese. You may either use freshly made paneer or store-bought ones.

    Potatoes: They act as a binding agent and helps bring the dough together.

    Carrot: This is an optional ingredient. But they add a subtle sweetness to the tikki and I recommend not to skip it.

    Spices: I use garam masala, amchur (dried mango powder) and Kashmiri chilli powder

    Ginger and green chilli: I use grated ginger; however, you may replace it with ginger paste. You may adjust chilli as per your preference or skip it altogether.

    Cooking options

    Shallow-fry: Tikkis are usually shallow-fry them in some oil and this is my prefered cooking method.

    Bake: Preheat oven at 180℃. Spray some cooking oil onto them and bake for 12-15 minutes.

    Air-fryer: Preheat the air fryer at 180℃ for 2 minutes, then air fry the tikki for 7-8 minutes (turning them midway).

    Bonus

    This dish is:
    - perfect to be served as an appetiser or finger food
    - freezer-friendly
    - vegan friendly
    - perfect for lunchboxes

    So what are you waiting for? Make or bake this yummy snack, sit back and enjoy with a cup of tea!
