Ingredients
- 1 cup paneer cubed
- 1 no small sized big onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup tomato puree just grind 2 medium sized tomatoes to a semi fine paste
- 1/3 cup capsicum cubed - I used coloured capsicum
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 3/4 teaspoon roasted jeera powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
- 1 teaspoon kasoori methi
- 1 tablespoon coriander leaves
- salt to taste
To temper:
- 1 heaped teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon jeera
Instructions
- You first need a tawa for making this, dosa tawa will be fine. I used flat bottomed dosa tawa. Heat butter when it starts to melt, add jeera let it crackle.
- Add ginger garlic paste, sauté for a minute then add chopped onion, sauté till it becomes transparent.
- Add chopped capsicum, sauté for 2mins.Then add tomato puree.
- Give a quick mix, then add red chilli, roasted jeera and garam masala powders along with required salt.
- Cook until raw smell of tomatoes leave. It will become dry in few mins.
- Sprinkle little water then add paneer and toss it so that the masala coats the paneer well.
- Add crushed kasoori methi and chopped coriander leaves and switch off. Enjoy Tawa Paneer!
Notes
- The spice powders can be adjusted as per your liking.
- This is semi dry, you can make it more like gravy too. In that case add more tomato puree.
- I have used tomato puree here, you can use chopped tomato too.
