Basil Pesto Coated Paneer

Ingredients

1 cup fresh basil leaves,

3 walnut kernels,

5 garlic cloves,

¾ tsp black pepper,

Salt to taste,

2 tbsp olive oil,

200 grams paneer

Method

Cut the paneer into cubes or fingers.

Grind the basil leaves, walnut kernels, garlic cloves, black pepper and olive oil into a not-too-fine paste. Marinate the paneer in this paste with the salt for an hour.

After an hour you can fry it in a non-stick tawa using no oil, as the marinade already has olive oil. Alternately you can grill it.
