Paneer Afgani

Evening will be better if you have Paneer Afgani in your snacks time. Last weekend I prepared this snack and had with my family. It was really good as that was a rainy day. Not only in rainy days but also you can prepare it in anytime and can make your day more wonderful.

Ingredients needed:

2 cups paneer (cottagte cheese) cubes

1 tbsp melon seeds (charmagaz) powder
3 tbsp cashew nuts (kaju) powder
1 tbsp poppy seeds (khus-khus) powder
2 tbsp milk

2 tbsp butter

1 tomato crushed   

¼ cup cream

1 tsp white pepper powder

½ tsp garam masala

½ tsp green chilli paste

Salt (as per taste)

Cucumber and cilantro leaves chopped

Preparation method:

Take a bowl combine the melon seeds, cashew nuts, poppy seeds powder with all the other ingredients except the paneer, cucumber and cilantro leaves. Mix well to form a thick marinade.

Add the paneer and keep aside to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.

Arrange the paneer pieces on the wire rack of a pre-heated oven and grill at 200°C (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and garnish with cucumber and cilantro leaves.
