1 Tbsp (15 g) crispy chili oil, plus more to taste
Directions:
1. Prep the cucumber, cilantro, and peanuts. Transfer to a bowl along with the sesame seeds. 2. Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and mix. 3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss*. Let sit for at least 10 minutes for the flavours to infuse and for the cucumber to soften slightly . 4. Taste test and adjust the seasoning as desired. Plate, drizzle over the chili oil, and garnish with more cilantro, peanuts, and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Add more water if a thinner consistency is desired. Note, though, that the cucumber will release some liquid as it sits in the dressing.
Storage
Best on the day it's made, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Pan-fry the marinated paneer slices on a grill pan or a non-stick pan till golden brown marks appear. Do not over cook and harden the paneer. Heat the sauce. Place most of the tomato sauce in an oven-proof flat dish or platter. Arrange steaks. Sprinkle the remaining sauce on the steaks. Sprinkle topping mixture.
Add the gattas, garam masala and mint and bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, garnish with grated paneer and coriander. Serve hot.
