Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Crumble the paneer and keep aside.
- Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
- Add chopped onion, green chilli and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until onion turns light golden.
- Add chopped tomato. Cook until tomatoes soften and oil starts separating.
- Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt. Mix well and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the crumbled paneer. Mix gently so paneer absorbs the masala. Cook for 2-3 minutes until paneer is heated through.
- Turn off flame. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and mix.
Notes
For a lighter version use 1 tsp oil instead of 1 tbsp. You can add finely chopped capsicum or peas for more fibre and colour.
