Kadai Paneer

This is one of those ridiculously simple dishes which for the minimal effort and time tastes as if lot more hard work has gone into it. I love this recipe for using few ingredients and which I can whip up in a matter of minutes at short notice.

“Kadai” or “Karahi” represents an Indian wok. A thick circular deep vessel mostly used for frying/simmering of stews. “Paneer” is Indian cottage Cheese. It uses the basic combo of Bell peppers and Paneer with different assortment of spices and herbs. I like to keep this dish as simple as possible without changing the essence of the dish and this is my version.

    Ingredients

  • 2 cups Paneer,cubed
  • 1 large green bell pepper/capsicum
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp coriander-cumin powder
  • 2-3 red chillies (as per taste)
  • 1 tsp kasoori methi ( dried fenugreek leaves)
  • Pinch of turmeric
  • 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
  • salt to taste and few sprigs of cilantro to garnish

Method

1.In a pan, stir in ginger garlic paste,cumin-coriander powder,turmeric and the red chilli in about 1 tsp of oil. Then add bell peppers. Stir in med-high heat for 2 min.

3.Add the Paneer and mix well. Just before removing it from the heat, add the kasoori methi, give a good toss for about 20-30 seconds and switch off the heat. Serve hot with Phulkas/ any flat bread of your choice.
