Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Low-fat paneer
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 medium Tomato
- 1 medium Capsicum
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Cut the low-fat paneer into small cubes and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, and roughly chop the tomatoes and capsicum.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and allow them to splutter.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add the chopped capsicum, mix, and cook for 2 minutes until it slightly softens.
Pour in water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the paneer cubes to the gravy, gently stirring to coat them with the masala.
Sprinkle garam masala over the paneer and stir gently.
Let the paneer cook in the gravy for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors, stirring occasionally.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before turning off the heat.
Serve hot with chapati or steamed rice.
