Mix them well so that the spices are coated on each piece.  Now leave them for half an hour so that all the spices get absorbed inside it.

 

Process of roasting Paneer Pieces

 

Heat the pan, add 2-3 tbsp of oil to it and heat it.  Put paneer pieces in hot oil for frying.  Fry them on low-medium flame until they turn golden brown from all sides.  When they turn golden brown, take them out and fry the rest in the same way.

 

Process of making Gravy

 

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan.  Put 1 bay leaf, 1 inch of cinnamon, 3 cloves, 6-7 black peppers, 2 whole red chilies, 1 cardamom (crushed) and 1 big cardamom (peeled and granulated) in hot oil.  After frying them lightly, add tomato-ginger (1 tomato and ½ inch ginger) paste and stir it once.

 

Then add ½ tsp of cumin powder, 1.5 tsp of coriander powder, ¼ tsp of turmeric, 1.5 tsp of kashmiri red chilli and 1 tbsp of dry fenugreek (crushing and removing the stem).  Fry them while stirring for a while till the oil separates from the spices.

 

After the oil separates from the spices, reduce the flame to low and add ¼ cup of fresh curd and fry it till it boils while stirring continuously.  After the oil is released from the spices, add ¼ cup of home-made cream and fry it while stirring continuously till the oil separates.

 

When the oil separates, add ½ cup of water, ¼ tsp of garam masala, ½ tsp of salt and some green coriander.  Mix them and add the pieces of cheese to it and mix.  Now cover them and cook on low flame for 2-3 minutes.  When the time is up, Paneer Changezi will be ready.  Serve it with roti, naan or rice and enjoy its taste.
