    I came to know that paneer ghee roast exists only in recent time. I saw this in Divya's Instagram and loved the name.

    I wanted to try this out for long time, adapted the recipe . I made it using their fresh paneer for the recent live demo at Singapore expo.

    Turns out delicious every single time. You can prepare this as quick fix for your hunger pangs or as starter of your meal too.

    There are many variations in the recipe, but I adapted this one as it was very simple. Just made a few changes in preparation according to the convenience and the fresh paneer.

    Since paneer is the main ingredient in this recipe, the quality is really important. Make sure to use malai paneer or fresh paneer for best results.

      Paneer isn't a protein that needs marination. If u add the paneer in the pan for so long till the oil leaves the masala mixture, it renders the paneer devoid of any moisture and doesn't taste as good. U might want to add the paneer cubes after the masala has been cooked. Since this is a veg version of the famous kundapur chicken ghee roast the same principle applied to the paneer might work but not brilliantly.
