We have always noticed that Paneer to a veg lover is somewhat similar to chicken for non-veg lovers, while most of the non-veg lovers also love paneer for its taste, softness and definitely also because it comes handy on religious days.
Today I am going to share a home-style recipe different than what we say a "quick style of cooking". Though it may take some time to cook, but it obviously would be promising enough to leave you in a hangover for its taste and give you a gastronomical experience.
Let's take a look at the main ingredients required to prepare this Dish.
Ingredients:
1. Paneer ( Cheese) : 400-500 gms ( serves 2-3 persons)
2. 3 Onions, Sliced
3.2 Chopped Tomatoes
4. Green Peas
5. Garlic-Ginger paste ( 4 garlic strands and one small slice of Ginger)
6. Cumin seeds (1/4 teaspoon)
7. 1 bay leaf, cinnamon bark, 2 cloves, 1 Elaichi /cardamom (small)
8. Turmeric powder, Coriander Powder, Black pepper powder, Cumin powder, Red chilly powder, paneer masala
9. Salt to taste
Procedure:
1. Cut the paneer into small squares
2. Heat the Pan at a medium flame, add 6 tablespoon of oil, once it gets heated put the flame to low and fry the cut paneer pieces on all sides till it turns golden brown.
once the pieces has turned golden brown, transfer that in a bowl containing 3 cups water ( this will ensure the water is absorbed and the paneer stays soft)
3. Now add some more oil to the pan, add cumin seeds, bay leaf, cinnamon bark, and cloves when it sizzles, add the onions and put some salt , fry the chopped onions till it turns brown, now add the chopped tomatoes till the tomato melts and mixes completely with the onion to give a thick paste, now add some green peas (1/2 small bowl) to it and saute for 2 mins.
4. Now add the Ginger and garlic paste to it , mix it well and saute it for a minute.
5. Now add the turmeric powder(1/4 tsp), coriander powder (1 tsp) , black-pepper powder (1/4 tsp), cumin powder (1 Tsp) and red chilly powder (1/4 tsp), paneer masala powder (2 tsp) add a little water (1/4 cup) to it and fry till the entire mixture turns sticky and brown.
6. Stain the paneer out of the bowl ( by now it has turned soft) and add it to the pan and stir for another 2 minutes till it mixes with the paste.
7. Now add the water from the bowl in which the paneer was dipped this will make your gravy. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes in low flame.Check the salt according to taste.
8. Finally add the butter and crushed cardamom seeds to it and garnish it with chopped coriander leaves and serve it warm with chapattis.
