Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 small onion minced
  • 2 green chillies chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes chopped
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1 capsicum chopped (refer notes)
  • 200 gm paneer soaked in hot water till use
  • 1 tsp kasuri methi
  • Salt to taste
  • Coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat ghee in a pan. Fry the ginger garlic paste till raw smell is gone.
  • Add in the onions and chilli and saute till wilted.
  • Add in the tomatoes and cooked till done.
  • Add in the powders and give it a good stir till raw smell goes.
  • Add the capsicum, sprinkle some salt and cook for a few minutes till just done.
  • Add in the paneer and toss well.
  • Drizzle some water, crush in the kasuri methi and cook for a couple of minutes till dry.
  • Serve hot with chapathis or side for rice, garnished with coriander leaves.

Notes

I have used 1/3 of red, yellow and orange capsicums.
After drizzling the water, dry up on high heat tossing up gently to avoid sticking to the pan. I left it a little short with a bit of fluid since my family prefers it that way.
