Cottage Cheese (Paneer) Parcels

A recipe I picked up from the Gulf News Cookery book which I was gifted. I like the simplicity and flavour.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 kg panir
• 2  lemons, juice of
• 1  teaspoon  thymol seeds (ajwain)
• 6  green chilies (or less if you do not like spice)
• 1  bunch cilantro (coriander leaves)
•  salt
•  oil
• 3 -5  mint leaves (optional)

Directions

1. Cube the paneer.
2. (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.
3. 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.
4. Alternatively sometimes I put the paneer cubes on the grill directly and grill lightly on both sides.
5. Delicious.
