Instructions
-
Prepare the Corn Mixture: Start by pulsing the steamed corn kernels in a mixer grinder until you achieve a coarse crumble, ensuring not to turn it into a paste.
-
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled paneer with the coarse corn mixture along with green chillies, chaat masala, chopped coriander, raisins, whole wheat bread crumbs, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and kasuri methi. Season with salt to taste. Mash the ingredients well until you form a dough-like consistency, allowing you to shape the mixture into kebabs.
-
Shape the Kebabs: Lightly grease your palms with sunflower oil. Take a small portion of the paneer corn mixture and shape it into patties. To add a nutty crunch, press half a cashew piece onto the top of each kebab.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
Prepare for Baking: Arrange the kebabs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Brush the tops lightly with sunflower oil to ensure a golden crust. Cover the tray with cling wrap and refrigerate for about 25-30 minutes, allowing the kebabs to firm up.
-
Bake the Kebabs: Once the kebabs are firm, place them in the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy: After baking, remove the kebabs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve your Baked Paneer Corn Kebabs hot, accompanied by fresh Dhaniya Pudina Chutney (Coriander Mint Chutney) and a steaming cup of Masala Chai for a delightful tea-time snack that will surely impress your friends and family.
Enjoy this delectable snack that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also provides a wholesome, vegetarian option for gatherings or a cozy evening at home. Whether you’re hosting a party or simply enjoying a quiet night in, these Baked Paneer Corn Kebabs are sure to be a hit!
