Paneer Masala... Exploring more in vegetarian

"Paneer Masala!!!"


Hi Friends...
I'm back with another recipe from my own kitchen...
Moving further in vegetarian, this is the first Paneer Dish by me...
I got out and bought:

Paneer : 250g
Onion: 250 gm
tomatoes: 100 gm
Oil: 2 tbsp & for deep frying extra
Kashmiri Chilli Powder: 1 tsp
Green Chili Paste: 1 tsp
Coriander Powder: 2 tspn
Turmeric Powder: 1 tspn
Garam Masala: 1 tspn
Ginger Garlic Paste: 1 tspn
Salt: to taste

First I cut paneer into small cubes and deep fried them. If you want them to be soft even after deep frying, put them in water for 5-7 mins. Since I like them crusty, I didn't.
Then I chopped the onions and started cooking it in a frying pan with the 2tbsp oil in it. After the onions got golden brown, I added the ginger garlic paste and continued cooking.
After 10 mins I added the salt, and other spices in it.
After, about 15-20mins the spices got cooked well, I added very little water(depends on whether what texture you want; I dnt recommend water addition at all) and cooked for a little longer, about 5-7mins.
Then I added the paneer and mixed it well with the spice mix. 

Take it out after 5 mins. and serve garnished with thin slices of tomato and roasted red chili.

Best enjoyed with chapati or paratha.

Will be back with more soon.... Take Care

HAPPY COOKING!!!!!
