- 250 grams Paneer (Indian cottage cheese)
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
- 1 medium, finely chopped Green bell pepper (capsicum)
- 1 small, grated Carrot
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste

Instructions
Crumble the paneer into small pieces and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté for 30 seconds until they begin to crackle.
Add the chopped onion and green chili, and sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Stir well to combine.
Add the chopped green bell pepper and grated carrot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still retain their crunch.
Reduce the heat to low and add the crumbled paneer. Mix gently to combine, ensuring the paneer is well coated with the spices and vegetables.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Adjust salt to taste, then turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with parathas, rotis, or toasted bread for a hearty and flavorful meal.
