    Marinate paneer with a tablespoon of pickle mix, juice of half a lemon and salt only if required.

    4

    In the meantime, spread the black pepper urad dal papad on a kitchen towel and keep under open sun or fan for 45 minutes to an hour, or till the papads are dry.

    5

    Pulse papad in a Mixer-grinder and make a coarse powder.

    6

    Heat the oil for frying in Deep bottomed pan.

    7

    Make a thick paste of cornflour, a pinch of salt, and water.

    8

    Dip the marinated paneer in cornflour paste and roll it on the black pepper urad dal papad powder.

    9

    Put 5-6 pieces of prepared paneer for frying at a time. Fry till golden brown.

    10

    Serve Crispy & Spicy Paneer Starter Recipe with roasted tomato sauce or Dhaniya Pudina Chutney and Masala Chai Recipe - Indian Spiced Tea as an appetizer during get-together or as a monsoon snack during tea time.

Editor's Notes:

Note: Instead of freshly prepared achar masala, you can also marinade paneer in the spicy pickle liquid from the slush settled at bottom of homemade mango pickle.
