    About this recipe

    Paneer oats cutlet is an easy-to-make snack that is packed with flavors. Also called oats tikki, they are basically patties made with cottage cheese, oats, potatoes, and spices. These hearty oatmeal patties are made without onion and garlic and can be served with tomato ketchup, sweet chutney, green chutney or yogurt dip.

    I love that it can be served for breakfast and put in the kids' lunchboxes too. You can also use the patties to make delicious vegetarian burgers. You can also use it as a filling for your wraps. They are great make-ahead party appetizers and can be mixed, shaped, and fried a day before gatherings.

    Patties are called cutlet or tikki in India and here is my recipe for a delicious and healthy version of oats tikki. Read on for ingredients, serving suggestions, or how to build a burger/wrap using these delicious oats and cottage cheese patties. Also, check out these easy chana chaat and paneer pakora recipes.

    Ingredients

    ingredients to make oats paneer cutlet

    Rolled oats: I use thick rolled oats to make the tikki.

    Paneer: Paneer is Indian cottage cheese. You may either use freshly made paneer or store-bought ones.

    Potato: It acts as a binding agent and helps bring the dough together.

    Carrot: This is an optional ingredient. But they add a subtle sweetness to the tikki and I recommend not to skip it.

    Spices: I use garam masala, amchur (dried mango powder), and Kashmiri chili powder (mild version).

    Ginger and green chili: I use grated ginger; however, you may replace it with ginger paste. You may adjust chili as per your preference or skip it altogether.

    Step-by-step instructions

    1. Dry roast the oats on low heat for a few minutes until they are lightly golden (4-5 minutes). Let it cool completely.

    dry roast oats.
    dry roast until golden.

    2. In a large bowl, combine oats, potato, paneer, carrot, ginger, chili, garam masala, amchur, chili powder, and salt. Bring the mixture together to form a soft dough.

    combine other ingredients.
    add spices.
    take all ingredients in a bowl.
    mix to form a soft dough.

    3. Pinch out a small portion of the mixture and make a ball. Gently flatten it with your palms making sure there are no cracks at the ends.

    4. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.

    shape the cutlet.
    repeat with rest of the dough.

    5. Heat oil and carefully place the cutlets in a single layer and shallow fry on medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

    6. Carefully flip the cutlet and fry on the other side.

    shallow fry in oil.
    flip and fry both sides.

    Useful tips

    The measurements in this recipe give 12-15 cutlets. You may half or double the recipe as per your preference.

    If you do not have access to amchur (dried mango powder), you can replace it with lemon/lime juice.

    The tikki freezes well too. To freeze them, place them on a freezer-safe tray in a single layer and freeze them for 4-5 hours. Then, place them in a freezer-safe ziplock or box. This way, they will be easy to separate and reheat.

    Dry roast the oats and let them cool before using them. This adds a great texture and crunch to the cutlets.

    Shape them into flat patties shape. This way, they will cook uniformly and will be crunchy.

    This is a great make-ahead snack. You can either shape them and place in the refrigerator or fry them and then store them.

    How to serve them

    Always serve these patties hot or warm. They can be paired with ketchup, yogurt dip, or any dip of your choice. They taste great with a cup of masala chai.

    Use these oatmeal patties to make a delicious burger. To make burgers:
    - slice the burger bun
    - spread ketchup on the top
    - place the patty
    - top with tomato, onion, and lettuce
    - spread some mustard or mayonnaise
    - place the other part of the bun on top.

    - place some lettuce
    - break two oatmeal patties and place them on the lettuce
    - add toppings of your choice (tomato, onion, avocado, cheese, etc.)
    - fold the sides and roll the flatbread
    - cut in the center and serve

    Use them instead of potato patties to make aloo tikki chaat:
    - Break two cutlets on a plate.
    - Top it with chole masala or ragda.
    - Add some finely chopped onions (red or pink).
    - Drizzle whisked yogurt, green chutney, and sweet chutney.
    - Sprinkle salt, chaat masala, and chili powder.
    - Top with sev and cilantro.
