Golden-fried dough purses filled with a spiced paneer and veggie stuffing, these Paneer Potlis make a crispy, flavorful, and elegant appetizer for parties.

Ingredients

2 cups maida (plain flour)

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp oil

Water as required

For the Stuffing:

1/2 cup crumbled paneer

1/2 onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup capsicum, finely chopped

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste (optional)

1/2 tsp chilli powder (or to taste)

1/2 tsp aamchur powder (dry mango powder)

1 tsp chaat masala (or to taste)

1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Mix maida, salt, and oil in a bowl. Add water gradually to form a smooth, firm dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Heat butter in a pan, sauté onions until soft.
  3. Add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in paneer, ginger garlic paste, chilli powder, aamchur, chaat masala, and salt. Mix well and let cool.
  5. Divide dough into small portions and roll each into a small circle.
  6. Place a spoonful of filling in the center, gather edges, and twist to form a potli shape.
  7. Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry potlis on medium heat until golden and crisp.
  8. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

Notes

Add boiled peas, sweet corn, or grated cheese to the filling for variety.

Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes for a healthier option.

Seal potlis by pressing edges firmly; brush with water if needed.

Shape potlis ahead of time and fry just before serving for parties.

Freeze shaped potlis and fry directly from frozen when needed.
