Instructions

Take a bowl or plate. Add mustard oil and Kashmiri red chilly powder and mix well.
Mix all ingredients into a smooth paste: yogurt, ground ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, dry mango powder, black salt, salt to taste, fresh coriander chopped.
Cut the Paneer in large chunks, and marinate it in the smooth paste we prepared. If possible rest for 1 hour. But it’s completely optional. Below I am showing the stovetop process. You can bake or air-fry the marinated panner as mentioned above in the oven or air fryer process.
Heat olive oil in a grill pan. Spread. Then place the marinated Paneer.
Flip every Paneer piece after 4 minutes. Fry on medium flame.
Take out the grilled Paneer Tikka. Slice them now. Keep aside.
Take a large mixing bowl and add all the vegetables under the salad ingredients. Lastly, add pomegranate. Mix everything well.
Now serve kachumber salad with Paneer tikka.

Notes

The paneer tikka can also be cooked on the barbecue grill.
It is best to cut the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions evenly, to make a perfect Kachumber Salad.
I prefer using store-bought paneer in this particular recipe as homemade paneer is usually too fragile and may break while grilling.
The salad can be further spiced up by adding in some chaat masala powder and red chili powder.
For children, you should not add green chilies.
Peel and remove the pomegranate kernels and store them in the refrigerator, so that they are ready whenever you want the kachumber. Just add it after you have mixed everything.
By adding oil to the paneer and veggie mixture while grilling or baking, moisture can be kept in control. In addition, paneer and vegetables are brushed with a light coating of oil to prevent them from becoming dry.
