Cookd masalas for paneer
Method
Salt and powdered spices together make shawarma masala. To make the marinade for the paneer, mix the hung curd, lemon juice, garlic and onion paste, and shawarma masala. Add the paneer pieces and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Add the ingredinets for the mayonnaise and pulse blend until thick.
To make the hot sauce, boil together with the ingredients until the garlic is soft and mashable, minimum 20 mins.
Strain and blend with the remaining water as needed, until smooth. Strain the sauce, if needed.
Cook/ Reheat the pita bread and remove from heat and cover with a cloth.
Cook the paneer on a heated and greased grill pan or a Tawa/ roast over an open fire. Flip and cook until the paneer is cooked through and a bit charred.
Remove from heat and cut into long strips.
To assemble the shawarma, spread garlic mayonnaise on the Khubz/Pita. Place some of the paneers, along with the sliced onion, tomato, and hot sauce. Form into a roll, and serve hot!
