Tikka-spiced Paneer Salad with Chickpeas, Mint and Naan Croutons
Introduction
Naan croutons might be the best crouton ever invented (I would happily eat a trayful) and they work beautifully here in this Indian inspired take on an Italian panzanella salad. Try to find plain naan bread with nigella (black onion) seeds, as they have a wonderful flavour. You can find good shop-bought paneer in the cheese section of the supermarket, it roasts beautifully with the spices.
