In a bowl, whisk curd until smooth.
Add red chilli powder, turmeric, roasted cumin powder, black pepper, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well.
Add paneer cubes and coat evenly.
Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes (30 minutes for deeper flavour).
Step 2: Roasting
Heat pure ghee in a non-stick pan or iron tawa over medium heat.
Place marinated paneer pieces in a single layer—do not overcrowd.
Roast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Turn gently to avoid breaking paneer cubes.
Step 3: Dressing & Serving
Transfer roasted paneer to a plate.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with onion rings, salad, or mint chutney.
Tips from My Kitchen
- Always use thick curd for marination so the masala sticks well.
- Keep the heat medium—high heat makes paneer rubbery.
