Preheat oven to 500 °F (260 °C) or barbecue to medium-high heat.

If oven-cooked, spread out Paneer cheese on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Grill cheese in the oven for about 5–7 minutes or on barbecue for about 5 minutes, turning cubes at least once.

In a large bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients, toss and serve with the grilled cheese cubes.
