Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups paneer, cubed small

2 teaspoons achari masala

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

1 green chili, finely chopped (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (plus more for garnish)

In a pan, heat a bit of oil and sauté ginger-garlic paste until fragrant.
Add chopped green chili and achari masala, cooking for 1 minute.
Stir in paneer and Greek yogurt; cook 4–5 minutes until paneer is coated and lightly browned. Let cool.
Divide dough into small balls. Roll each into a 3–4 inch disc.
