Amritsar is a wonderful place. It's well known for the Golden Temple, but mostly for the famous Amritsari Khana. The most popular dish from Amritsar is the Amritsari macchi. Here I have substituted the macchi or fish with paneer. The paneer is dipped in a flavourful marinade and deep fried making it crispy and crunchy on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside. The chaat masala adds just the right amount of punch to the recipe. This makes and excellent finger food at parties and a lip-smacking treat when hunger pangs strike!
