Tandoori Paneer Fry

This is a really simple recipe and one that you can make when you don't have time to cook an elaborate dinner. You can also serve this as a starter for dinner parties. In which case I use tooth picks to skewer the paneer and arrange them on a plate.

Ingredients

• Paneer - 250 gms
• Curd/Yoghurt -3/4th cup
• Ginger -garlic paste - 2 tsps
• Red chilly powder - 1/2 tsp
• Green chilly - 1 chopped
• Coriander leaves - A few
• Garam masala powder - 1/4tsp
• Salt - To taste
• Oil -3 tbsp

Method

1. Cut the paneer into cubes.
2. In a bowl, mix curd with all other ingredients mentioned in the list except oil.
3. Let the paneer marinate in the curd mixture for at least half hour. Ideally you may marinate it over night.
4. Place a non-stick pan on the fire and add oil. When hot, drop the paneer into the oil and fry till paneer is cooked.
5. Paneer should not become hard but should remain soft but firm. 
6. Eat with chapathis or parathas.
