- Take a mixing bowl.
- Add the Garlic and Ginger, Jeera powder, cut Green Chillies, chilli powder, lime juice and Dahi.
- Put it in the wet grinder and make a fine paste.
- Add the salt to taste.
- Add some drops of the orange colour (or Tandoor Paste or Tandoor Powder). – you can skip this if you do not have these ingredients. They are only to provide colour.
- Take the Paneer pieces and smear this paste on all sides.
- Leave the paneer for about an hour so that the mixture can dry up a bit.(Leaving overnight is a good idea as it infuses more flavour in Paneer)

- Now take a fry pan and heat 2 tablespoons of oil in it.
- Put some diced onion cubes and capsicum pieces and shallow fry them.
