2-3 ripe large tomatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
1 small green chili (adjust to taste), roughly chopped
1/2 inch ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
1/4 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
Pinch of sugar (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
Salt to taste

Method / Preparation

Follow step-by-step instructions

First, prepare the mint-coriander chutney dressing. In a small blender or food processor, combine the fresh mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chili, ginger, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, chaat masala, black salt, and optional pinch of sugar. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to achieve a smooth, pourable chutney. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Arrange the sliced paneer and tomato alternatingly on a serving platter or individual plates. You can overlap them slightly for an attractive presentation.
Drizzle the prepared mint-coriander chutney generously over the paneer and tomato slices.
Squeeze the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice evenly over the salad.
Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil over the entire salad.
Garnish with a few extra fresh mint or coriander leaves, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Indian twist on Caprese!
