BM #104 Day 12 -
Here is the last Odiya snack in this series. This was also suggested by Aunty and it was one of the best snacks so far. I always felt paneer and potato go well in any dish and this is not an exception.
The flavors were so mild which made the taste of paneer pop out. So if that flavor is something which needs to be masked, please increase the spices accordingly.
Here is a recap of the past two weeks..
Week 1 - Sweets from Andhra -
Day 5 - Pala Munjalu
Day 6 - Teepi Vadalu ~ Sweetened Vada
Week 2 - Snacks from Odisha -
Day 7 - Pithau Bhaja ~ Yam Cutlet
Day 8 - Padma Manjee Bora (Makhana Vada)
Day 9 - Badi Chura
Day 10 - Panasa Cutlet ~ Jackfruit Cutlet
Day 11 - Methi Bora ~ Fenugreek Fritters
After a short Sunday break, I shall be back with some snacks of my family's choice.

Paneer and potatoes really go very well and the addition of coconut is rather interesting , I am sure the flavor imparted by it must be really really delicious . Will be giving it a try the next time I make Tikkis .
Potato and paneer is a great combo. They have turned out so well. Good one
All these chops make such sinful treats right. Thanks to your Aunty for such wonderful dishes from Odisha, enjoyed reading and learning. Looking fwd to next week theme..:)
Shallow frying makes it a great treat for paneer lovers and coconut is an interesting addition to the recipe. You were able to showcase some regional gems of Odisha this time.
Such an amazing combination of flavours Harini. This dish is really interesting. Really enjoyed the dishes from Odisha. Thanks for sharing such nice and authentic ones.
I make tikkis with paneer and potatoes. Addition of coconut is interesting and love the way you have made it so healthy
