👨🍳 Easy Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Paneer
Crumble the Param Paneer into a bowl or cut it into small pieces.

Step 2: Make the Mustard Mixture
Combine mustard paste, grated coconut, green chilli, turmeric, salt and mustard oil. Mix well.

Step 3: Coat the Paneer
Add the paneer to the mustard mixture and gently coat it with the masala.

Soften the banana leaves briefly over a low flame. Place the paneer mixture in the centre and fold into neat parcels. Secure with kitchen string or toothpicks.

Step 5: Cook to Perfection
Steam the parcels for 15–20 minutes, or cook them in a covered pan over low heat until the paneer is heated through and the flavours come together.

Carefully open the banana-leaf parcels and serve hot with steamed rice.
