- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste

Directions
Step 1
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
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.

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.
Step 5
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.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Step 8
