Step 1: Marination

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.
