Crispy Fried Paneer Masala

Someone said - All good things are unhealthy, well almost all .. :)
Just look at fried food - all those fritters, patties, fries , poutines , vadas , falafels, tempuras, KFCs . Anyways so going back to the topic, fried food is always good. This is the soul idea of this dish.
Fry Paneer in a crispy manner and then pour a tikka masala inspired sauce on top before serving. Use crumbs to make the layer extra crispy, cut paneer into bigger slices and that makes it tastes great. You want to eat something fried, fry this. The sauce on top hides the fried layers and helps with your guilt conscience as well.
