Ingredients:
8 -10 ounces paneer cheese, cut into thin horizontal slices, about 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup yoghurt
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
2 teaspoons tandoori spice mix
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
1 tablespoon minced coriander leaves ( aka cilantro)
1/2 tablespoon minced mint leaves
3 cups vegetables ( bell peppers, red onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots)
2 -3 teaspoons chat masala
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt, to taste
Directions:
Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade with some salt and set aside.
Juliennes the veggies and add the chat masala and remaining marinade (if any) to them.
Brush the marinade on the paneer slices and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Heat 1 tbsp butter/oil and fry the paneer on both sides till well done (browned). Alternatively, you can brush each paneer piece with some oil and bake in a 350 degree F oven till done.
Heat 1 tbsp oil and stir fry the veggies till they are crisp. Just like the paneer, you can alternatively bake these in an oven till they are done.
In a platter, arrange the paneer slices in the middle and place the veggies around it. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve hot.
