Ingredients
250 gm Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) |
1 green chilli, finely chopped |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
1 medium tomato, tightly chopped |
2 tsp ginger garlic paste |
1/4th tsp cumin seeds (jeera) |
1/2 tsp red chilly powder (I have used kashmiri mirch powder) |
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi) |
1/2 tsp coriander powder |
1/4th tsp garam masala |
2 tsp refined oil |
Salt to taste |
A bunch of fresh coriander/cilantro leaves |

Method
1. Heat a pan, add 2 tsp oil, now add cumin seeds and let them turn brown & release earthy aroma!
2. Add 2 tsp ginger garlic paste, saute till raw smell goes away (usually for 10-15 seconds on low flame)
3. Add finely chopped green chilli & chopped onion, saute till translucent.
4. Add red chilly powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder & chopped tomato. Saute till the masala paste starts to leave oil.

5. Add Paneer (cottage cheese) and salt to taste. Mix well & cook for few minutes on slow flame. (Don’t overcook the paneer as it can become chewy)
