I Cook This Way

I love paneer. I think I can eat paneer..well...err...every alternate day!! This recipe that I share below turned out tasting very well. It looked great too. There is nothing new about this recipe. It is the melange of a number of tried and tested recipes. Very easy to make, this dish is a quick yet tasty recipe, which goes well with roti as well as rice.


Ingredients:

1. Paneer, cut into cubes
2. Onion, ginger and garlic crushed into paste together
3. Fresh green chillies,
4. Salt, Sugar, Turmeric powder
5. Sour Curd
6. Besan
7. Kasoori Methi
8. Whole Garam Masala- Cardamom, Clove, Cinnamon, Whole Black Pepper
9. White Oil
10. Green peas

Procedure:

1. Heat oil in a kadai.
2. Half crush the whole garam masalas and add to the oil. Fry until fragrance comes out.
3. Add onion-ginger-garlic paste and fry well, until the aroma comes out.
4. Add salt, sugar and turmeric powder and mix well.
5. Add the paneer cubes and mix well with the masalas until they are well coated. Also add the grean peas along with them. If it becomes very dry, you can add some water to moisten the masalas.
6. Mix well a teaspoon of besan to the sour curd [ more if the amount of curd is more ]. Add this mixture to the paneer -masala. Turn thoroughly, to spread the dahi-besan mixture evenly around the vessel.
7. The consistency of the gravy would be semi-liquid. You can add portions of water and bring to boil to get the right consistency.
8. Sprinkle kasoori methi and garnish with slit green chillies when done. Cover for some times before serving.
