Tawa Paneer Masala

Tawa Paneer Masala
Ingredients
• 1 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 3/4 tsp ginger, grated or crushed
• 1 tbsp oil
• 3/4 cup tomato, chopped
• 1/4 cup capsicum
• 2 cups paneer, cubed
• 3/4 tsp garam masala powder
• 1/4 tsp kasuri methi
• Salt as needed
• 5-6 cashews (optional)
Method
• Heat a tawa with oil, add the cumin
and allow it to splutter. Add the grated
ginger and saute it till it releases its
aroma.
• Add the onions, sprinkle salt over
them and fry evenly till they turn
golden.
• While the onions fry, puree the
tomatoes. If you’re using cashews,
puree them with the tomatoes. When
the onions turn golden, add the tomato
puree and mix well. Cook the mixture
until the tomato puree thickens and the
raw smell disappears.
• Add the capsicum, red chilli powder
and garam masala. Mix and cook for
about 2 minutes.
• Add the paneer and kasuri methi. Stir
well.
• Add a little water, to adjust the
consistency to your taste.
• Allow it to cook for a few minutes, so
that the gravy thickens. Do not
overcook. Transfer the paneer masala
to a serving bowl so that it doesn’t turn
rubbery.
• Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve
hot with rice or roti.
