Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Paneer
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Tomato, finely chopped
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, chopped
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the paneer cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the remaining oil.
Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomato, and cook until it becomes soft and mushy.
Stir in the red and green bell peppers and green peas. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and black pepper powder. Mix well to coat the vegetables and tomatoes evenly with the spices.
Add the sautéed paneer cubes back to the pan.
Reduce the heat and cover the pan. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the paneer to absorb the spices.
Sprinkle garam masala over the sabzi and mix gently.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with low-sodium bread or rice.
