Ingredients

For Ghee Roast Masala:

 

For Marination:

  • 200 Gms. Paneer
  • 1 Tsp. Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbsp. Curd
  • Salt as per taste.

 

For sautéing: 

 

Method

Preparation of the Masala:

  • Take a pan or kadai and heat 1 Tbsp. Ghee.
  • Once the Ghee melts, add all the spices and the chillis that are mentioned in the ingredients for the masala.
  • Keep the heat low, and while stirring occasionally, roast the spices until they have a robust aroma.
  • Once done, add the Tamarind and Garlic Cloves.
  • Mix well, switch off the heat, and let this mix cool down for a while.
  • Once the mixture cools down, transfer it to a grinding jar. 
  • Next, add 6 Tbsp. water and grind until it becomes a smooth and fine paste. 

 

Marinating the Paneer

  • Transfer the entire Masala paste to a mixing bowl.
  • Add the Curd, 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice and salt as per taste.
  • Now, add the Paneer cubes and mix well. 
  • Ensure the Paneer cubes are coated well, and marinate them for 30 to 45 minutes.

 

Making Paneer Ghee Roast

  • Heat 2 Tbsp. Ghee in the same pan you used for the Masala.
  • Next up, add the chopped onions.
  • Then add the Curry Leaves and Turmeric Powder.
  • Mix well and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
  • Once done, add the marinated Paneer cubes.
  • Mix very well but gently enough, and once done, add the Jaggery Powder and mix again.
  • Then add ¼ cup of water and repeat the mixing process.
  • Simmer the gravy for about a couple of minutes, and do not overcook the Paneer to prevent the cubes from getting hard.
  • Once done, switch off the heat and let the gravy thicken until you see specks of ghee floating on top. 
  • Garnish the Paneer Ghee Roast with some coriander leaves and serve hot.
