INGREDIENTS
- 2 pouches Tasty Bite Vegetable Tikka Masala
- 6 oz (170g) paneer, crumbled
- 1 medium all-purpose potato, cooked, peeled & cooled
- 2 tbsp (30 g) chickpea flour
- 1 tbsp (15 g) cornstarch
- ¼ tsp (2.5 g) kosher salt
- 1 tsp (5 g) ground coriander
- 1 tsp (5 g) ground cumin
- ½ tsp (2.5 g) ground garam masala
- 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk
- ¼ cup (60 g) fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
COOKING STEPS
-
1 Prepare the Fritter Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the crumbled paneer and peeled, cooled potato together using a fork until smooth and uniform.
-
2 Season & Shape: Add the chickpea flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, ground coriander, ground cumin, and garam masala to the potato-paneer mixture. Stir well until completely combined and pliable. Roll the dough into small 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls.
-
3 Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat approximately 1 cup (240 ml) of vegetable oil in a skillet or deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry the dumplings in batches until crisp and evenly golden brown on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; set aside.
-
4 Simmer the Masala & Serve: In a separate medium sauté pan over medium heat, whisk together the Tasty Bite Vegetable Tikka Masala and coconut milk until smooth. Gently fold in the fried dumplings and bring to a gentle simmer for 3–5 minutes so the dumplings absorb the sauce. Garnish generously with chopped fresh coriander and serve hot with rice or naan!
