Tandoori Paneer Recipe

Ingredients:

250gm firm paneer, cut into one-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, deseeded, cut in thin rings
1 medium onion, cut in thin rings
1 tsp cooking oil
1/2 tsp salt or to taste


The masala:
2" piece fresh ginger
2-3 cloves of garlic
1-2 fresh green chillies, or to taste
2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Method:

1. Grind all the items for the marinade in a spice or coffee grinder to a paste.

2. Put the paneer pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over, reserving a tsp of it. Turn the paneer pieces gently with your fingers until the pieces are more or less coated with the masala.

3. Set aside for about an hour, minimum.


4.. About 10 minutes before you want to serve the paneer, heat up the grill in your oven. Arrange the marinated paneer pieces on a greased tray or rack and grill, turning once or twice, until the paneer begins to turn golden brown.

5. While the paneer is grilling, heat 1 tsp oil in a wide frying pan put in the onion rings to fry.

6. After about 4 minutes, add the bell pepper rings to the onion and cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes longer, or until the onion turns brown and the bell pepper is cooked.

7. Toss the tandoori paneer with the bell pepper and onion mixture, and serve hot.
