Prepare the achar masala by mixing spices and herbs in a bowl.

Crumble the paneer into a separate bowl and mix with yogurt, chopped green chilies, and coriander leaves.

Add finely chopped onion, ginger, and garlic to the paneer mixture and combine well.

Season the mixture with cumin seeds, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt to taste.

Roll out the naan bread into small circles on a floured surface.

Place a spoonful of the paneer mixture in the center of each naan circle.

Fold the naan over the filling and seal the edges tightly to form a bomb shape.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the naan bombs until golden brown on all sides.

Alternatively, bake the naan bombs in a preheated oven at 375°F until golden, about 15-20 minutes.

Brush the cooked naan bombs with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
