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.
  • If you don't have curd you can use just spice powders along with little water to coat the masala. It will taste still good only.
  • You can add kasoori methi, chat masala powder, tikka masala or tandoori masala powder along with marinade for a different taste.
  • I usually use these basic spice powders, you can plus or minus them according to your taste buds.
  • You can replace paneer with tofu for vegan preferences.
