Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams low fat paneer
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large tomato
- 1 medium green bell pepper (capsicum)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Cut the low-fat paneer into small cubes. Chop the onion, tomatoes, and bell pepper and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw aroma fades away.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.
Add the chopped bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it remains slightly crunchy.
Carefully fold in the paneer cubes and add 0.5 cup of water. Mix gently to coat the paneer with the masala.
Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes on low heat, allowing the paneer to absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle garam masala on top and stir gently.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with roti, chapati, or rice.
