Cut the paneer, capsicum, onion and tomato into cube size pieces as per picture








In a bowl add thick curd, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam Masala, cumin and coriander powder, kasuri methi, chaat Masala, lemon juice and salt and mix it nicely (as I will be using ginger and garlic pastes in gravy, so I am skipping in this step) 


Add the chopped vegetables and paneer cubes in above prepared marinade and mix it nicely and make sure each pieces coats evenly with curd Masala mixture and allow them to rest for 1 hour. If you want more flavors, then marinade them for 4 to 5 hours cover with lid and keep this in fridge.
