Radish, Potato, and Paneer Tikka
3 cups of paneer, 2 small potatoes boiled and mashed, 1 cup of shredded daikon/radish, 1 bunch of chopped green onions, 1/2 large green chili minced, 1 handful of cilantro chopped, 1 tbsp of garam masala, 1 tbsp of dhania jeera powder, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp of turmeric
Batter
1/2 cup gram flour, enough beer or water to give it a smooth consistency that is not too watery, 1 tsp dried mint
1. Mix the ingredients for the batter together until no lumps form.
2. Mix the crumbled paneer, mashed potatoes, radish, and all the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
3. Take a 1/4 cup of the mixture at a time, roll into balls and flatten. We found flattening on a oiled board, and cutting out circles worked the best.
4. In a saucepan, heat some oil.
5. Dip the patties into the batter and fry them on both sides.
6. Alternatively you can batter them and bake them in the oven at 350 for about 25 minutes. Flip them and cook the other side for a few minutes. Ensure you have oiled the tray or sprayed it with cooking spray. Spray the battered patties as well.
Sauce - Ragada
1 large beefsteak tomato diced, 1 handful peas, 1/2 red onion diced, 1 tsp of chili powder, 1 tsp of turmeric, 1 tsp of channa masala, 1/2 tbsp garam masala, 1/2 tbsp dhania jeera powder, garlic (optional -- we didn't use it)
1. Saute the onions in oil.
2. Add the tomatoes and fry till the water separates.
3. Add the various powders, and peas and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Season with salt. Adjust the seasoning of the masala powders to your taste.
Verdict: Guaranteed to make anyone drool. Ok, I'm eating a plain tikka as a midnight snack right now. Seriously, you know when you open the fridge and you want something to snack on? Yeah, this is it. Make some, you'll see.
Here is the switchup: The most delicious homemade potato burger. Toasted buns spread with mint chutney and maggie masala chili sauce, layered with slices of onion, chopped cilantro and lettuce. You could add cheese to yours as well. This was SO amazing. I wish you all could be here to try some with me. Now get this, the patties Shankar made for our next day burger were all baked, and he used fat free milk for the paneer. This meal not only tasted good, it was also low fat, and low in calories. I also bought the lighter buns from the store. Can you believe it?!

Hi Kanchana .. I am Lavanya (Buffalo) 's cousin... That's how I was introduced to your website.. Love all of your recipes.. Made this one today and it turned out pretty well too.. in my case though, the sauce turned out a little less for the amount of tikkas... so would need to make some more when we plan to eat in the evening.. :) Awesome food and keep blogging ..
