-
1 Capsicum (cut into cubes)
-
1 Tomato (deseeded, cubed)
-
Chaat Masala (for garnish)
-
Fresh Coriander (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Paneer:
Mix all marinade ingredients well. Add paneer cubes and coat gently. Let it rest for 10–15 mins (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).
-
Heat the Mahaa Fry Pan:
Add oil/ghee and heat on medium flame. Once hot, place marinated paneer cubes spaced apart for a nice sear.
-
Sear to Golden:
Cook paneer on each side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
-
Sauté Veggies:
In the same pan, add onions, capsicum, and tomatoes. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly charred but still crisp.
-
Combine & Finish:
Add seared paneer back in, toss everything together for 1 minute. Sprinkle chaat masala and fresh coriander.
🍽️ Mahaa Tip:
For best searing, don’t overcrowd the pan. Let each paneer cube get direct contact with the even-heating surface of your Mahaa Fry Pan.
