Paneer i.e. Cottage Cheese is very healthy and versatile form of cheese. It is used widely in India, especially in North Indian dishes. But with the globalisation of food culture, it didn’t take long for all of India to incorporate the highly nutritious paneer into it’s regional cuisines!

Steps

1

To make the Paneer Stir Fry Masala, start with finely chopping the onins, the tomatoes and the green chilli. Dice the capsicum into small squares and set aside. Cut the Paneer too, into medium sized cubes.
2

Heat a kadhai, and add the oil to it. When the oil heats up, add the cumin seeds, asafoetida and the finely chopped green chilli.
3

Add the chopped onions and saute till translucent. Now add the turmeric powder and cover and cook for a few more minutes.
4

Add the diced capsicum and saute. Cover again and cook until the onions turn soft.
5

Now add the chopped tomatoes and mix well. Add the red chilli powder, coriander powder and the garam masala. Add some salt and the sugar. Stir well and cover and cook for a few minutes.
6

Uncover and increase the heat to evaporate any water that the tomatoes might have released.
7

Heat a tadka pan slightly, and spread the kasuri methi over it. Within a minute, it will turn crisp. Crush it with the fingers and add to the prepared masala.
8

When the entire mixture is well cooked, add the paneer cubes and salt to taste.
9

Cover and cook for a few minutes. Switch off the heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
