Paneer Parcels Recipes

PANEER PARCELS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add onion and sauté for a minute.
• Add green chillies and turmeric powder and mix. Add cottage cheese, mix and cook for a minute.
• Add salt and mix. Add coriander leaves and mix well. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven at 180° C.
• Dust the worktop with some flour. Place the naan dough on it, knock back to release excess air and roll out into a large sheet.
• Cut out roundels with a medium sized cookie cutter. Place a portion of the cottage cheese mixture in the centre of each roundel, bring the edges together in the centre and pinch to seal. Place the parcels on a baking tray and set aside to prove for 10-15 minutes.
• Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.

COTTAGE CHEESE (PANEER) PARCELS

Steps:

• Cube the paneer.
• (should be very fresh) Grind together the chillies and coriander and mint leaves too (if using) Mix chilli- coriander paste with the lemon juice and ajwain Add salt Smear the paneer with this mixture Cut squares of aluminium foil and place 4 paneer cubes in each foil.
• Dribble oil over paneer and fold the squares in such a way that no moisture can seep out when turned Place the parcels on a barbeque grill over a moderate fire and turn once or twice till cooked.
• Alternatively sometimes I put the paneer cubes on the grill directly and grill lightly on both sides.
• Delicious.
