Aloo paneer chaat is made of 2 cups baby potatoes , boiled , peeled and cut into halves, 2 cups paneer (cottage cheese) cubes, 1/2 cup boiled green peas, 3 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp finely chopped green chillies, 1 tsp ginger-garlic (adrak-lehsun) paste, 1 tbsp sweet chutney, 2 tsp green chutney, 1 1/2 chaat masala, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp coriander (dhania) and salt to taste.

How to select baby potatoes
  1. Baby potatoes are the potatoes which are removed from the soil before they are fully developed/ grown. Due to this, you will find that baby potatoes have a sweeter flavour.
  2. Ensure that the baby potatoes are firm and free from dirt or any blemishes. 
  3. Check that the skin is smooth and doesn't have mild green patches.
  4. If you are buying them in packet, ensure the bag is perforated. Many times if the plastic bag is not perforated, it can cause a build up of moisture and that can negatively affect the potatoes.

How to make paneer at home
  1. To make paneer, rinse a deep non-stick pan with ¼ cup of water and quickly simmer it for 2-3 minutes. This will prevent milk from getting burnt as the water forms a protective layer between the pan and milk. This is generally done in stainless steel pans but, if you have an old non-stick pan it is advisable to make this extra effort so, that the milk does not burn.
  2. Rotate the pan in a clockwise motion, so the water spreads evenly in the pan. Discard the water and pour 2 liters of full fat-milk. Full fat milk is highly recommended while making paneer as it yield more chenna after curdling resulting into a thick block of paneer.
  3. Bring it to a boil on a medium high flame. This would take around 8-10 minutes. Click here for detail recipe of how to make paneer at home.
