  • Once broccoli is cool down at room temperature, grind it in a mixer.

  • Add maida to it and after saute it for 1 minute, add the milk kept aside slowly so that there are no lumps. Stir continuously. Simmer for 3-4 mins. Add potatoes, salt, black pepper and chili flakes in this mixture and keep saute it until it becomes dry enough to make balls out of it.

  • Scoop out a spoonful of the mix and make the oval shape of it. Keep it on a plate.
  • Make cornflour slurry with water. Dip the oval shape paneer broccoli mix in cornflour paste and then in breadcrumbs and deep fry them.

Notes

Adding potato will give binding to the mixture and give a good shape to fritters. Also please remove bay leaf from the mixture after adding paneer in it and keep it in the fridge.
