Easy Tawa Paneer

Tawa Paneer..
My son loves paneer, in any and every form! Yes.. I don’t remember cooking or having paneer so much before than the last couple of years. Tikka, curry, grated and stuffed parathas, bhajis and what not.. I have made them all and I am trying out new recipes every week. Generally paneer tikka is made in hot tandoori or oven or air fryer.. takes a bit longer and cannot be cooked without some prior planning..

For days like those, I have the easy 10 minutes Tawa Paneer recipe.. the outer coating will get crispy, the paneer will stay soft and intact with spicy tangy taste. It’s overall wonderful, very easy.
Recipe for my easy tawa paneer is below

Thick yogurt – 2tsp
Ginger garlic paste – 1tsp
Lemon juice – 1tsp

Garam masala – a large pinch
Besan or chickpea flour – 1 tbsp
Dried fenugreek leaves – 1/2 tsp, methi leaves
Salt as needed
Sesame seeds – 1tsp, option
Oil to shallow fry in pan

Method
1. In a bowl add all the ingredients EXCEPT the paneer, sesame seeds and oil
