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 centre.

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 them. 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

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-fried 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).
