Paneer Potato Pops Recipe – Aloo paneer balls with step by step pictures. A crispy and yummy evening snack that the kids will love very much especially during Monsoon season.

It’s a snack that one can seldom say no to. I have made this a lot of times that I have lost count of it actually.

This recipe is adapted from Suchitra’s blog who happen to be my partner for Blog Hop Wednesdays and this is also off to Let’s Cook Series of Hibernative Foods. 

With the rain and sun playing hide and seek this was so good to have during this weather as an evening snack. Not only my children but my friend who had come for a short stay also loved it very much.

The first time, I shallow fried the balls by making them into tikkis by pressing the balls slightly between my palms. The second time I baked them by drizzling oil over them or you can also cook these using a paniyaram pan for a low calorie version.

But if you are worried about deep frying the balls fearing that you may use up more oil, trust me when I say that if the dough that you make is of perfect consistency, the balls will not drink oil at all.

Paneer Potato Pops recipe with step by step pictures:

    Hi whenever I make such cutlets find theM too soft and not hard enough like restaurants. Is this hard enough to push a fork and take

      Hi Ramya, Yes these pops are firm and will not become too soft and soggy. If you want the cutlets to be firm, you can add some Rava (sooji) and it will stay firm.

      Hi Elsa, The reason it fell apart was because the mixture was not firm enough to hold its shape while deep frying. You can either add more bread crumbs so that it absorbs all the excess moisture to keep the balls firm and stay in shape and also as an extra step, after making the balls, refrigerate them for 30 mins before deep frying. That will definitely help.
