Crumbled Cheese with Scallions and Tomatoes

This dish may be one of the quickest full meals I've made in a very long time. It's remarkably filling and incredibly fresh tasting. It's a perfect summer meal, limiting stove time to the bare minimal and celebrating fresh tomatoes. I thought the amount of scallions might be a bit too much, but they added a fantastic crunch to the dish. The author says you can use feta instead of the paneer, but to be careful to add it just before you plan to serve it so it doesn't melt. You may want to scale back the chiles if you're more spice averse. The Balti masala called for in this recipe is great, but I think store-bought blends would work just fine in here as well.
