1. Prepare the chaat masala and the cumin. Prepare the paneer cheese and cut it into 1 1/2 x 1/2-inch pieces. In a food processor or blender, process together the cilantro, lemon juice, coriander, cumin, and salt to make a smooth chutney.
2. Place the paneer cheese in a flat dish and carefully mix in the chutney, making sure that all the pieces are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 1 to 4 hours.
3. Heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the paneer pieces (in 2 batches, if necessary), stirring, until just heated through, 1 to 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a serving platter, cover, and keep warm.
4. Add any remaining marinade to the skillet along with the tomato and cook, stirring, until the tomato if soft, about 1 minute. Transfer to the paneer platter. Garnish with the chaat masala and cumin seeds and serve.
VARIATION: To grill the marinated paneer, drain the pieces, then thread them onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers and grill over medium heat until very lightly charred. Serve with or without the tomato.
