Karoun sent 30 food bloggers, myself included, two different products with the challenge to create exciting, eye-catching and flavorful appetizers and/or entrees.
As I love to create Indian inspired dishes I stayed with that theme for this Paneer recipe challenge.

Appetizer Category: using either Karoun Labne or Gopi Paneer: $500.00 Cash Prize
Entree Category: using either Karoun Labne or Gopi Paneer: $500.00 Cash Prize
Simple yet vibrate ingredients are sometimes the way to go. Scallions, garlic, curry powder, red pepper flakes and some oil make a sizzling spicy topping.
Naan bread, an Indian staple with the Paneer cheese, ready for the broiler.
Minimal ingredients, easy prep, but the flavors are ooh so good.
This variety of Paneer cheese has a firm yet pliable texture that melts easily but will handle the heat from the broiler without burning,
A little cilantro, several lime wedges and your platter is ready for guests to enjoy.

Indian Paneer Naan Bread
Number of servings: 12
Indian Paneer Naan Bread with Scallion Red Pepper Curry Oil is a sassy appetizer to get your taste buds going. Serve it alone or along side your favorite Indian entree.
Ingredients
- 8 scallions, diced
- 1 tsp. chili flakes
- 1 tsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. pressed fresh garlic
- 1/3 cup avocado oil (or a neutral high heat oil)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 4 large flat naan bread
- 1-8oz. Gopi Paneer cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves/sprigs
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, add the diced scallions, chili flakes, curry powder and pressed fresh garlic.
- Heat the oil over medium high until it begins to shimmer on the surface and give off a light smoke. Once the oil is screaming hot, carefully pour it over the scallion mixture. Stir to allow all of the mixture to blend together. Season with the kosher salt and set aside.
- When ready to serve the bread, turn the oven to broil. Moisten the naan breads with a sprinkling of water and top with the shredded Gopi Paneer Cheese.
- Broil two at a time or whatever amount your oven allows. Allow the bread and paneer cheese to toast. The broiling time may differ depending upon the heat of the broiler and the position of the rack. Watch carefully and turn as needed for even toasting.
- Remove from the baking sheet and broil the remaining two naan breads with paneer cheese.
- Drizzle the cheesy naan bread with the Scallion Red Pepper Curry Oil and garnish with the cilantro leaves/sprigs. Cut into wedges. Serve with the fresh lime slices and enjoy!
