Now back to this potato croquettes recipe, this is an Indian potato croquettes recipe, I have adapted Sanjeev kapoor’s potato croquettes with few changes. I have added some grated paneer along with cheese to make the croquettes more rich. I added 2 bread slices to the potato mixture to add some mild sweetness to the croquettes and finally I have used powdered poha/aval/beaten rice to roll the croquettes instead of bread crumbs. I like to use poha to roll any cutlet as they add a very nice texture and also the cutlet or potato croquette in this case turns out very very crispy and even more tasty.
I have used big new potatoes to make potato croquettes recipe. Along with that 1-2 sweet bread slices, 1/2 cup grated cheese, 1/2 cup grated paneer, handful of mint leaves are the required ingredients. Cumin powder, red chili powder and a bit of pepper powder is used for seasoning. Here I have deep fried the potato croquettes, you can even shallow fry them.
Serve potato croquettes hot with any spicy dipping sauce. I served them with homemade marinara sauce!

1. Boil, peel and mash the potatoes very well. Add grated cheese, paneer, chopped mint leaves, crumbled bread slices, corn flour, salt, chili powder, cumin powder and pepper powder. Mix well and make a dough like ball.
2. Pulse poha/aval in a dry grinding jar until it resembles fine rava. Now take the potato mixture and divide into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a croquette/cylinder. Roll over the pulsed poha well until all the sides are coated.
3. Heat oil for deep frying. While the oil is getting heated, finish shaping all the croquettes. Deep fry 2-3 shaped croquettes at a time in hot oil. Deep fry until all the sides turn crispy and golden brown. Serve potato croquettes hot with any dipping sauce.
vegans can use tofu instead of paneer and leave out cheese

new yummy snack with potato.
Yasmin says
Do you think these can be frozen? If so, shall I roll them in pulsed poha before freezing?
Harini says
Hi Yasmin, yes you can freeze the rolls ahead and fry as needed. Roll them in pulsed poha just before frying though.
