Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 1 medium Green Bell Pepper
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 1 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Tomato
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil

Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Wash and thinly slice the green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Peel and slice the onion. Set these vegetables aside.
Chop the tomato and set aside. Finely mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped tomato to the pan and cook until it starts to soften, about 2 minutes.
Mix in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the paneer cubes to the pan and gently mix to coat them with the spices and vegetables.
Sprinkle garam masala over the mixture and stir gently.
Cover the pan and let it cook for another 4-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving hot.
