ginger & garlic paste –  1 tsp

turmeric –  1/4 tsp

red chili powder –  1tsp

tandoori masala powder – 1 tsp

cumin powder – 1/2 tsp

yogurt –  1 tbsp

lime juice –  2 tbsp

olive  oil – 1 tsp

salt to taste

Mix all the ingredients with thawed paneer and refrigerate for 4-6 hrs.

Grill the paneer at 180 degrees for 5-10 mts. If you want to brown it leave for some more time. I like it just cooked so as the edges began to brown i took it off the oven.

***Alternatively you can also heat the paneer in a non stick pan or skillet till it is browned.***

1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
