Paneer Roast

PANEER  ROAST


My younger son just loves paneer anytime. Whenever i cook fish for us, i prepare paneer  roast for him as he doesn't eat fish.

This is a very simple easy, quick & delicious recipe which needs very few basic ingredients available at home. 

This can be served as an appetizer, side dish with rice or noodles or as a snack. I am sure kids will love this. 

While cooking paneer,  make sure that it remains soft & fluffy. Eating soft paneer is always delightful.

Overcooked or over fried paneer  will  turn out hard & rubbery. Make sure you fry it only for 1-2 minutes on each side. 


RECIPE

(Kindly use spices as per your choice. We prefer less spicy food)

INGREDIENTS:

  • Paneer slices  200 gms
  • Kashmiri Red chilly powder 1&1/2 tbsp
  • Garam masala powder 1/2 tsp
  • Ginger garlic paste 1tbsp
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • Salt to taste
  • Lemon juice 1 tbsp

METHOD:

Slice the  paneer  as per your choice.
Add all the above mentioned ingredients one by one to paneer Slices. 

Mix gently & keep it aside for 15 -20 minutes. 

Heat 1-2 tbsp ghee, add paneer Slices & fry on a medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Do not over cook. 

Add 1 tsp water at the end & cover. This helps to  keep the paneer moist.

Delicious paneer  roast is ready. 
Serve hot & enjoy with your loved ones.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional
