Top 5 Amazing Healthy Paneer Snacks Recipes
1. Paneer Tikka (Kabab)
Paneer is the Indian cheese. It is often used in Indian food and comes in many wonderful flavors like paneer tikka and Makhan Wala. Both are very delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of paneer
- 4 to 6 slices of onion
- Green chilies 3 to 4, chopped
- 1.5 tsp of ginger paste
- 1 tsp of green chili paste (optional)
- 2 tsp of garlic paste
- Salt to taste, 1/2 tsp or more as per your taste.
Directions:
Step 1: Take a pan and add oil to it. Then heat it. Take the slices of onion and let them fry on low flame till they are light brown. Remove them from the heat and put them aside.
Step 2: Add the paneer and all the ingredients mentioned earlier to a bowl. Mix them well. Now take the mixture and roll it into small balls the size of a ping pong ball.
Step 3: Place these balls on a skewer and cook them on medium heat till they are cooked through and become golden brown. Once cooked, serve hot with mint coriander chutney or ketchup.
2. Paneer Wadas
This is a very authentic snack that is delicious. They are made simply of plain flour, yogurt, grated paneer or cheese, and some flavoring spices like cardamom and coriander seeds.
You can even add fenugreek leaves to the wadas if you want something unique in this dish. The WADA’s surface should not have any texture. Otherwise, it will crack and break apart as you eat it. It should be smooth and soft. This is a very yummy dish.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup of yogurt
- 1/2 cup of grated paneer or cheese
- Some oil for frying.
Directions:
Step 1: Mix all the above ingredients in a bowl. Then make small balls out of the mixture about half an inch in diameter.
Step 2: Then roll those balls into thin wafer-like wadas and fry them over medium flame for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
3. Paneer Pakora
This is a very delicious and simple snack. You can bake or fry the paneer to make it healthier instead of deep frying them in oil or ghee. Also, instead of adding potatoes, you can change it with sweet potatoes. This dish goes very well with a cup of tea.
Ingredients:
- 1 piece of paneer, cubed (250 grams)
- 1/2 cup of grated sweet potato fried in oil till golden brown (optional)
- 1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp garam masala powder (add a few pepper flakes for some kick) or just the garlic and ginger paste if you don’t have garam masala powder.
- Salt to taste.
Directions:
Step 1: Mix all the ingredients mentioned above in a bowl. Mix them well. Cover and let them rest for an hour or so to marinate well.
Step 2: Heat the oil for frying on medium flame. Put the paneer pakoras in it and fry them till they are golden brown or crispy.
4. Paneer Butter Masala Stuffed Bread
The name says it all! The bread has paneer butter masala stuffed inside it. Stuff it with cheese and taste the traditional Indian bread with paneer butter masala.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (250 grams)
- 2 tbsp of melted butter (or ghee)
- Paneer Butter Masala
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (add a few pepper flakes for some kick) or just the garlic and ginger paste if you don’t have garam masala powder.
- 1/4 tsp fenugreek powder (optional).
- Salt to taste.
Directions:
Step 1: Take a bowl and mix all the ingredients mentioned above in it. Mix them well.
Step 2: Now, take the bread slices and spread the mixture on both sides of the bread slices. Place these into a microwave oven for about 10 minutes or until they become soft.
Step 3: Serve it hot with tea or coffee or even curd rice as an evening snack.
5. Paneer Bruschetta
The name says it all. You can also try other ways to make bruschetta with cheese. For example, you can make open bread and use it in a salad.
This is very easy to make and can be an appetizer or even a light lunch, served with fresh veg & salad. I gave the recipe below only for the plain butter version as that tastes best, in my opinion.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (250 grams)
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 1/2 cup of grated paneer or cheese.
- 1 tbsp of fresh coriander leaves.
Directions:
Step 1: Take a bowl and mix all the ingredients mentioned above in it. Mix them well. Spread the mixture on one side only of the bread slice and make small holes over it in a criss-cross pattern to make a pattern, as shown in the picture below.
Step 2: Heat the butter in a pan. Now place the bread slice on a pan and let it cook on medium heat till it becomes golden brown. Once cooked, remove from heat and serve hot.
