Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add paneer cubes and sear without stirring for 2 minutes until edges turn golden, then flip and cook another minute.
Step 3
Push paneer to the side. Add cumin seeds to the empty pan space and toast for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir yogurt, turmeric, salt, and minced green chili in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5
Pour yogurt mixture into the skillet and stir gently to coat paneer. Simmer for 3 minutes until sauce turns creamy and warm.
Step 6
Make mint chutney: blend or finely chop mint with lemon juice, 1 tbsp water, pinch of salt, and green chili. Serve paneer alongside raw red onion slices and mint chutney.
