Cut the paneer into cubes of approximately 1-inch each.
In a shallow bowl, mix the coconut flour, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Gently toss the paneer cubes in the spice and flour mixture until each piece is evenly coated.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the paneer cubes in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded in the pan.
Fry the paneer cubes for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the paneer cubes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Transfer the crispy paneer to a serving plate and garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired.
Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or a delightful addition to any paleo meal.
