  • Heat oil in a pan for frying. Once hot, drop the paneer and fry until crisp outside.
    Oil for frying
  • Transfer it to a bowl, and while it is hot, add peri peri mix and toss until well combined. Notes: I first added 1 tablespoon of store-bought peri peri mix directly, but I felt it was not spicy enough, and the peri peri mix was coarse. So then I ground some peri peri powder in a blender to a smooth powder and added an extra 1 tbsp. When the powder is smooth, it gets coated with hot fried paneer easily. So, grind the powder if it is coarse and add. Adjust the amount to taste.
