     An easy paneer fry using basic ingredients available in the kitchen. I had been making this paneer since mittu was a kid as she loves it. Those days I use to make homemade paneer just for her to make this paneer fry. She calls it paneer tikka still and often demands it amidst all the paneer dishes I make. This is a very simple quick fry with basic ingredients that you can grab from your kitchen. This can be had as a starter or as a sidedish for rice or pulao.

    About Paneer Fry

    First to begin with start to  slice paneer into slightly thin slices as shown. Marinate using thick curd along with spice powders and salt. Set aside for few mins. Then heat oil in a pan – shallow fry paneer until crisp and golden brown. Fry in batches and remove. Serve with rice or pulao of choice, it serves best as a starter too.

    Variations

    • If you don’t have curd you can use just spice powders along with little water to coat the masalas. It will taste still good only.
    • I usually use these basic spice powders, you can plus or minus them according to your taste buds.

    Notes

    • Adjust spice powders according to your taste buds, This is medium spicy.
    • I roast it until crisp and golden brown but you can roast slightly golden if you like the soft texture instead of crisp.
    • Serve with onion rings as a starter with chat masala powder sprinkled. Thats how my kids love to eat this.
    • This is one of the easiest paneer fry recipes I have tried so far. The spices we add is also our choice you can skip or add as per your liking.
    • You can even add chat masala powder along with marinade to get a slightly sour taste.
    • Always use fresh paneer otherwise it will turn rubbery while frying.
