Chaat masala and black salt along with mint and coriander give an Indian touch and add an addictive taste. This can be made ahead, like two days ahead and it is great. So dried mint is the choice. When using fresh mint, use it the same day, as mint may change color if stored for a couple of days. Sesame seeds are used here which adds a delicious crunch.

Add the paneer and the rest of the ingredients to a bowl, mix it.
Gather the cheese mixture into a ball or log. Place the sesame seeds in a plate and roll the cheese ball/log to coat a layer of the seeds.

Now this is seriously an excellent one to enjoy...love have loved it so much..btw..that paneer presser, doesn't it give your firm paneer?..I had one many many years ago and didn't find it useful..ever since I have been wanting to buy another one..so asked..

Thanks, Srivalli! It is very delicious! The paneer press gives firm one when you keep heavy weight (really heavy) on top for a couple of hours more.

This is a great idea. Homemade spiced paneer with crackers is definitely a delicious combo. Great share.
