The importance of protein in our diet is immense. A high protein intake boosts metabolism, reduces appetite and changes several weight-regulating hormones. Protein comes from a variety of sources, including meat, milk, fish, soy, and eggs, as well as beans, legumes, and nut butter.
Being a vegetarian I thought there are fewer options to complete the protein intake in our diet. Contrary to my belief there are a lot of food items that help me complete the protein intake in my diet. I keep on trying making recipes that are rich in protein and prefer to start my day with it. When proteins are digested, they leave behind amino acids, which the human body needs.
Here is an easy and lip-smacking protein-rich breakfast or evening snack recipe, hope you will try it soon:
Ingredients:
Paneer – 100gm
Semolina (sooji)- 30 gm
Amul cheese cubes- 3
Carrot, onion, cauliflower- One small bowl
Hung curd- 1 Tablespoon
Beans & peas- Parboiled (Half bowl)
Ghee- 10gm
Salt, pepper, green chilies, and chat masala – As per your taste
Let’s Cook:
Wash and clean all veggies. Chop all veggies into small cubes. Grate cauliflower (make sure to leave the cauliflower in the warm water with a pinch of salt for few minutes before you grate it). Cut Amul cheese cubes into small pieces. Grate paneer. You can grate carrot as well if you don’t like the cubes.
Take a bowl and mix it all together. Make a thick batter that can be easily poured into a paniyaram pan (it is quite a handy pan and we can make many recipes using it with less or no oil). Use a little amount of oil before you pour batter into the pan (If you are using a non -stick pan then you can skip using oil)
Pour half a spoon batter and then put a small square of cheese, cover it with another half spoon of batter. Cook it well from both sides, it should be partially golden brown to get the perfect crunch and ta-da!
Sprinkle chat masala once cooked and enjoy it with your favorite chutney.

Quite easy recipe indeed. Also i never thought of making use of Paniyaram pan like this ever before. Thanks for this great tip! Just a small word from my end, it would be even more great if you can give the measure of the ingredients also. You might also want to correct the spelling of ‘Amul’ mentioned under ingredients list. L is missing from the word ‘Amul’. Thanks again for this simple yet great recipe which uses very less oil.
Yum Yumm!! Mouth Watering. I am a very lazy girl when it comes to cooking. But sometime I try out few things. My son – a paneer Fan – will surely like it. Yummy and healthy Post!!
Yum recipe! Though I don’t have a Paniyaram pan, can this be shallow fried?

Paneer is the favourite at my home. The eldest and the youngest are happy to eat it every day. This recipe is really easy and looks yummy.
I love this recipe. I am not too fond of cooking. I find it stressful. But I would definitely like to try this out.

This is such a great idea to make veggie paniyarams. And so quick and easy too. No need to ferment. Shall try this very soon.
This recipe already has gotten me salivating!
Probably one of the best sources of protein!
As a Mumbaikar the inclusion of Chat Masala made me happy.
I m a huge fan of paniyaram (puddu), and this transformation is sounding convincingly yummy.. thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Looks easy. I was expecting more pics though. But have to give it a try considering I have a very picky child at home.

Looks yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe
This looks yum! As a vegetarian, it’s difficult to zero in on a balanced diet for kids that they would love to eat. Snacks like these will go a great way in bridging the gap.
