Achari paneer murgh

A popular dish in northern India are cubes of paneer, a fresh cheese made from cow or buffalo’s milk, that have been marinated in pickling spices (achari masala) and then fried, grilled or cooked in the tandoor. Achar means ‘to pickle’ and the spices that are used – fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds and coriander seeds – are often also used to flavour curries. Here the achari-coated paneer is combined with a chicken curry to create a spicy dish that is perfect for winter.
