ABOUT Paneer Kofta RECIPE

This is a very delicious and an easy snack of Paneer (Cottage Cheese) Kofta. It is basically a combination of mashed paneer, boiled potatoes and other spices, formed into oblong shapes and deep fried. I also added some boiled sweet potatoes for a healthier version and some crushed kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves). It is best relished as an evening tea-time snack. They can also be served as appetizers along with some green chutney or sauce.
