Ingredients
- 250 grams Low-fat paneer
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornflour
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the low-fat paneer into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, mix cornflour and water into a smooth paste.
Step 3
Add the lemon juice, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, and coriander powder to the cornflour paste. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the paneer cubes and gently toss to coat them evenly. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully arrange the marinated paneer cubes in a single layer in the skillet.
Step 7
Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until they are golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes or until evenly browned.
Step 8
Remove the paneer cubes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving for a fresh flavor.
Step 10
Serve warm as an appetizer or a side dish with mint chutney or your choice of dip.
