Paneer with Capsicum and Kasuri Methi

I am usually at my wits end on what to cook each day. I have a family with varied tastes in food. But Paneer is something that everyone loves.

I made this simple dish with Paneer, Capsicum and Kasuri Methi. It comes together in a few minutes, goes great with rotis and tastes wonderful.

You Need:

• 200 gms paneer cubed
• 1 onion thinly sliced
• 2 tomatoes chopped small
• 1 medium size capsicum diced (I used half green and half red capsicum)
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds / jeera
• 1 tsp Ginger chopped fine
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp chillie powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder / jeera powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder / dhaniya powder
• 2 tsp Kasuri Methi / Dried Fenugreek Leaves
• 1/4 heaped tsp Everest Kitchen King Masala
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp Oil

Steps:

• In a pan heat the oil and add the Cumin seeds. When it splutters, add the sliced onions and ginger. Sauté till it gets translucent.
• Add the tomatoes, turmeric, chillie, cumin and coriander powders. Cook till the tomatoes get pulpy.
• Then add the diced capsicum, kasuri methi and the Kitchen King masala powder and stir till the capsicum is well coated with the spices. Salt as per taste.
• Add the paneer and mix well. Check salt.
• Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
• Serve hot with rotis.

Notes:

• You can replace the Kitchen King Masala with Garam Masala powder
• If you want a gravy, replace 1 tomato with a tbsp of tomato paste and little water.
• I like the capsicum a little crunchy, you can allow it to cook a little more if you like it soft.
