Directions

Step 1


In a large shallow baking dish or bowl, mix to combine cornmeal, turmeric, chili powder, garam marsala, curry powder, and salt. Set aside.


Step 2


To make chutney, add all chutney ingredients and a pinch of salt to a pitcher of a high powered blender or food processor bowl. Process until smooth. Taste and adjust with additional salt, honey, and lemon juice. Set aside.


Step 3


To make corn relish, add all relish ingredients and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust with additional lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.


Step 4


Pat cubes of paneer dry with paper towels. Toss paneer in cornmeal spice mixture (assembled in Step 1). Remove paneer from cornmeal while vigorously shaking so only a dusting of cornmeal spice remains on paneer. Place dusted paneer on a separate plate. 


To remaining cornmeal spice mixture add 3 tablespoons of flour and 1/2 cup of water and whisk until combined and thick batter forms. Gently fold cubed paneer into batter until well and evenly coated. 


Step 5


To fry paneer, heat about one inch of oil in shallow pan until hot. Test the oil temperature by adding a batter covered paneer cube, tiny bubbles should form around the paneer. 


Fry paneer, in 2-3 batches, for 2-3 minutes, turning halfway through, until a dark golden color and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt.


Step 6


To assemble, fill individual lettuce cups with a few pieces of warm fried paneer, top with relish, chutney, and finish with a sprinkling of Sweet Curry granola. Serve immediately.
