Kadhai Paneer...

Kadhai Paneer...

I learnt dz rcp from Sharmis food page...

Ingredients:

Paneer - 1 cup cubed
Capsicum - 1 cubed (I used half green and
half red)
Tomatoes - 2 tbsp cubed
Onion - 1 chopped finely
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
Dhania(Coriander) powder - 1/2 tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Green chillies - 1 chopped
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp chopped
Salt - to taste
Tomatoes - 2
Coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Red Chillies - 2

Procedure:

1. Dry roast coriander seeds and red
chillies seperately and grind it with
tomato to a fine paste.Dry roasted
coriander seeds and red chillies can be
coarsely powdered seperately and added
too. But I find it easy to combine with
tomatoes and grind, either way no big
difference in taste.
2. Heat half a tsp of oil, add cubed
paneer and toast it until it turns golden
brown. Transfer the toasted paneer to
hot water for 5mins, drain and keep
aside(this is to retain the softness of the
paneer). Heat remaining oil in a pan, add
green chillies and ginger garlic paste
saute for a minute.
3. Then add onions, tomato cubes and
saute till raw smell leaves and onions
turn slightly browned. Then add the
tomato puree(with coriander seeds and
red chillies grinded). Add chilli powder,
garam masala powder and dhania
powder, give a quick stir.Add required
salt.
4. Add kasoori methi ,Next add the
capsicum and saute till its cooked but
retain its crunchiness dont let it become
very soft. Add 1/4 cup water and allow it
to boil and thicken.
5. Sprinkle little water if its too dry.Add
the paneer cubes mix well. Add chopped
coriander leaves, gives quick stir and
switch off.
