Kadhai Paneer Ingredients:
Paneer- 1 block, sauteed in a frying pan and cubed ( immerse in cold water after sauteeing to keep it soft)
Green Peppers- 2, chopped or sliced thin

Ginger-Garlic-Chili Paste
Tomatoes chopped 2-3 big ones

Kasoori Methi –1- 2 tbsps
Chopped Cilantro – per your taste

Garam Masala- to sprinkle on top
Heat ghee or oil in a pan and saute the onion and the green peppers for a few minutes. Now add the garlic,ginger and chilli paste to the pan.Stir in chilly powder and coriander powder.Then add the tomatoes,mix well and cook until tomatoes literally disintegrate into the pan and the oil separates. Add kasuri methi and salt and stir them together. Add the paneer cubes and mix well,cover the pan with a lid and simmer for few minutes.Now add chopped coriander leaves and the garam masala, stir and switch off the heat. Serve with your choice of sides. I suggest some hot chapatis/parathas, raita, and a saucy curry and rice for a filling meal.
