Easiest and lightest recipe of paneer and still can be served in front of guests. Really a good one!

Ingredients vegetarian 2 servings


    • 100 gms of paneer 
    • 1 Shimla mirch
    • 1 onion
    • 2 tomatoes
    • 1 table spoon refined oil
    • 3/4th tbsp Cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder & anardana powder
    • salt & red chilli to taste

     

    Directions

    1. Cut onions, tomatoes, shimla mirch & paneer into small pieces and collect them in different bowls. We'll need them later.
    2. Add refined oil in kadhai.  (This recipe has to be made in kadhai for better results)
    3. Add cumin seeds & turmeric powder in the oil and cook for few minutes till the cumin seeds turn into dark brown colour.
    4. Then add onions into it and fry till they turn into dark pink colour.
    5. Then add coriander powder, anardana powder, salt & red chilli into it.
    6. After 2-3 minutes, add tomatoes into it and cook till it looses oil. (i.e. for atleast 5-7 minutes)
    7. Then add shimla mirch into it and cook it. Cover the pan for few minutes and then cook it without cover. You need to mix the ingredients from time to time.
    8. After the shimla mirch is cooked up, add paneer into it and cook for 3-4 minutes.
    9. Your kadhai paneer is ready.
    10. For garnishing, add grated paneer over it before serving.

    hi Shalini,recipe is good,but would be best if some more masalas like black pepper,dal-chini n badi elaichi are added to it when other masalas are fried.

    dear shalini,i tried your kadhai paneer. i and my husband had it with chappatis. its really tasty and we loved it. only one thing to make it more nutritious i added soya panner[tofu] instead of ordinary panner.

    Hi Shalini. I just wanted to suggest if a little crushed garlic is added, it will give a mouth watering flavour.

    i think it will be good if you use some tomato sauce and cream in gravy.and the main thing is ,capsicum should not be mashed in gravy.
