Instructions

1. Cut the paneer into 1- to 1-1/2-inch cubes and marinate it in a yogurt-based marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, if desired. Paneer tikka marinades are similar to curry sauces, and you can create your own by mixing a curry-spice blend with yogurt.

2. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the paneer cubes out of the marinade and blot them with paper towels to soak up the excess marinade.

3. Coat the paneer cubes in oil and place them on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If you didn't marinate the paneer, season it with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Slide the paneer cubes in the oven.

4. Turn the paneer cubes over after about 8 minutes of roasting using tongs. Roast the paneer cubes for 15 minutes total cooking time, or until they turn a light, golden brown.

5. Take the paneer out of the oven and set the pan on a rack to cool. Serve the paneer with a sprinkling of chaat masala, a classic Indian seasoning mix, and lemon or lime wedges.
