Ingredients

  • 200 grams paneer
  • 1 small carrot (chopped lengthwise)
  • 1 medium sized onion (chopped lengthwise)
  • 1/2 medium sized capsicum (chopped lengthwise)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
  • 1/2 cup tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • salt as needed

Instructions

  • Heat oil, add jeera and allow it to splutter. Add onions and ginger garlic paste saute until slightly golden.
  • Now add the tomato puree and saute until raw smell leaves, this may take at least 5mins. Add chili powder, garam masala powder and tomato sauce. Add required salt.
  • Then add carrot saute for 2 minutes then add 3 tablespoon of water and keep covered to let it cook. When the carrot turns slightly soft yet crunchy to bite, add capsicum giving a quick stir.
  • Add the paneer cubes and toss it well until the paneer cubes are well coated with the gravy. Allow it to cook for 2 minutes then switch off.
