Instructions
- Prepare the Paneer:
- Cut the paneer into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the corn flour, rice flour, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, lemon juice, soy sauce, yogurt, and salt to make the marinade.
- Marinate the Paneer:
- Add the paneer cubes to the marinade mixture. Coat them well, making sure each piece is evenly covered.
- Let the paneer marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Fry the Paneer:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

- Remove the fried paneer cubes and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
- Toss the Paneer in the Sauce:
- In a separate pan, heat a little oil and sauté the slit green chilies for a few seconds.
- Add a pinch of asafoetida (if using) and toss the fried paneer cubes in the pan for an additional 1-2 minutes to coat them with the spices.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with a side of green chutney or as an appetizer.
