Ingredients
200 g paneer, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons yogurt
1 tablespoon achari masala
1 teaspoon mustard oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
300 g naan dough or 4–6 store-bought naan rounds
1 tablespoon melted ghee or butter
Instructions
1. Cut the paneer into bite-sized cubes and toss them in a bowl with yogurt, achari masala, salt, and mustard oil. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Roll homemade naan dough into 4–5 inch circles, or trim store-bought naan into similar rounds.
3. Place 1–2 marinated paneer cubes in the center of each round. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, then pinch and seal into a ball.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) or cook in a skillet until golden brown and slightly puffed.
5. Brush with melted ghee or butter and serve warm.
Notes
Use firm paneer to prevent it from turning mushy during baking.
Let the naan bombs cool slightly before serving for best texture.
You can customize the achari masala to your preferred spice level.
