Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Low-fat paneer
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 large, finely chopped Tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 small, finely chopped Bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Start by crumbling the low-fat paneer into small, even pieces. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add finely chopped onions and green chili. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the chopped bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Add crumbled paneer to the pan, along with garam masala. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the paneer is evenly coated with the spices.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with whole wheat roti, brown bread, or as a side with rice.
