Paneer Corn Kabab/ Cutlet

Paneer Corn Kabab/Cutlet

Hey all , posting this recipe before I forget it :D I just tried it for my brother who goes to the gym. And he wants all protein stuff to eat. Do try and I am sure u'll will love it :)

Makes : 15 kababs

Ingredients
1 tblsp oil
Sweet Corn (boiled) - 1/4 cup
Paneer (mashed) - 100 gms(used half amul paneer packet)
1 tsp - ginger garlic chilly paste
1/4 tsp - red chilly powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/8 tsp- green cardamom powder
some coriander leaves, chopped
1 tblsp oats
1 tblsp rice flour
1 egg
pinch of baking soda
salt

Procedure :
Its actually very simple ! Just mix all above ingredients. Even egg , add directly . I added egg because mixture was quite dry and needed some binding agent.
For vegetarians , use little cornflour(1 tblsp) mixed in milk(2 tblsp ) instead of egg.

Heat a tawa, add little oil (infact if you are using nonstick tawa , you can just brush it with oil). Make small balls of above mixture and flatten to form flat round kababs.
You can use cookie cutters too to make different shapes. Fry on both sides till browned !! Serve with tomato sauce or green chutney.
