Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, ginger paste, and garlic paste. Add lemon juice and mix well to form a marinade.
Add the paneer cubes into the marinade, tossing gently until evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Carefully add the marinated paneer cubes to the pan in a single layer. Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the paneer is crisp and cooked, remove it from the heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot as an appetizer or with a side salad for a complete meal.
