    No grill, but seared in a cast iron skillet worked great! Delicious way of cooking paneer.

    This was really good. I do not like to grill or use a grill pan, so I broiled. These were ready in 4 minutes. The flavors are really wonderful. I used mango pickle instead of mixed pickle because I had it on hand.

    Fantastic flavor. I used halloumi in place of the paneer and skipped the salt in the marinades. Grilled over charcoal. Next time I would cut the cheese a bit smaller than 3cm cubes - the peppers-to-cheese ratio was a bit high with big chunks.

    Truly delicious and quite easy. Inspired by the reviewer below, I used a lime pickle and another I picked up at the farmers market, punched up with chili, turmeric, mustard oil, and yogurt. The dish grilled on a grill pan beautifully. It was at its peak when still warm. I didn't dust it with the final spices but have used the same mix to good effect with other recipes in this book. I think the butter baste adds considerably to the dish.

    Really good and very easy. The peppers are particularly flavourful. The marinade includes “Indian pickle” - I mixed lime pickle and mango chutney and that worked brilliantly. The masala dusted over at the end is essential-it adds a complexity and completes the dish
