Ingredients:
– 250g paneer, cubed
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 tomatoes, pureed
– 1 green bell pepper, diced
– 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
– 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
– 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
– 1 teaspoon coriander powder
– 1 teaspoon garam masala
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
– Salt to taste
– Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
– 2 tablespoons oil
– 1 teaspoon kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
Recipe:
1. In a pan, heat the oil and add cumin seeds. Once they start to sizzle, add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
2. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute, then add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates.
3. Add the diced bell pepper and cook for a few minutes until it softens.
4. Sprinkle in the turmeric, coriander powder, black pepper powder, and garam masala. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.
