Corn Paneer Pakora - A healthy recipe for evening time snack

It is definitely a difficult task to find out the snack that can be served for the kids in the evening but I got this recipe from a friend which I tried and it turned out too good too. Infact I am planning to make it as a starter dish too.



Ingredients:

Fresh or Frozen corn - 2 cups

Paneer - 100 gms

Onions - 2 medium

Ginger -  1 inch piece

Garlic - 6 flakes

Green chilly - 2 nos

Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup

Cumin/ Jeera Powder - 1/2 tsp

Red chilly Powder - 1/2 tsp

Bengal Gram Flour - 6 tbsp

Amchur Powder - 1/2 tsp

Milk - 1 cup

Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying



Method:

Soak the frozen corn for a while to remove ice.  Grate the cottage cheese. Blend the corn in a blender to make it coarse. Grind ginger and garlic together. Cut the green chillies into fine pieces. In a pan heat oil, add ginger garlic paste and after a minute add the crushed corn and stir fry it. Add salt and mix well. Add 1/2 cup of milk and bring it to a creamy texture. When the corn gets cooked remove from flame and let it cool. Add the finely chopped onion, paneer, chillies, cumin powder, chilly powder, amchur powder and coriander leaves. Add in the besan flour to bind it. Add a bit more salt if needed. If the mixture is too thick, it can be thinned by adding a little more milk. Make small balls or cylindrical shaped pieces and fry it out in hot oil. Turn the pieces around till they become golden in colour. Remove from oil and drain excess oil.



If you are making it for a party, it can be make in different shapes like square or heart shaped too.



The corn can be cooked and then blended too.
