You will find authentic Kerala flavours in this delicacy which looks as special as it tastes.
Ingredients:
200g paneer
For marination:
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp haldi
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp coconut oil
1/4 tsp salt
For masala:
2 onions
3-4 tomatoes
1.5 inch ginger
3-4 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp haldi
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tbsp coconut oil
Salt as per taste
7-8 curry leaves
For banana leaf roasting:
1 banana leaf with centre removed
1 tsp oil
For garnish:
Tomato slices, curry leaves
Recipe:
Take all ingredients for marination and mix with paneer. Coat paneer with it and let it rest – the longer the better. Anytime between 30 minutes to 8 hours, take paneer and heat it for 30 seconds on each side of a cast iron skillet.
Make the masala like a regular one with onions sauteed followed by curry leaves, garlic, ginger and followed by tomatoes and spices.
Now prepare the banana leaf by tearing away the centre wire and mildly heat it in both sides. Now add masala, place paneer then add masala again on top and wrap the paneer in the banana leaf.
Cook on open flame/cast iron skillet for 5 minutes on each side. It can be cooked more as per colouring required.
That’s all. Enjoy 😃
