Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes.
Deseed the bell peppers and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Finely chop the onion and tomato.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the paneer cubes and sauté until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove the paneer and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the ginger garlic paste and sauté for another minute.
Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and oil starts to separate from the mixture, around 2-3 minutes.
Mix in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Stir well to combine.
Add the bell peppers, stir, and cook for 3-4 minutes, keeping them slightly crunchy.
Return the paneer to the pan. Sprinkle salt and garam masala, and gently mix everything together.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
