Ingredients
  

  • 200 g Paneer
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1 Capsicum
  • Salt to Taste
  • 1/2 tsp Garam Masala Whole Spice Powder
  • 2 tsp Tomato Ketchup Optional
  • Chopped Green Coriander To Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Chop onions, capsicum, tomatoes and crumble paneer. I use my food processor for chopping as well crumbling paneer.
  • Heat oil in a wok. Add chopped onions, capsicum, tomatoes and crumbled Paneer. Yes, all together!
  • Mix salt and Garam Masala.
  • Toss everything on high flame and continue cooking till all the water dries up. This is because Paneer has a lot of water and when heated it releases it.
  • By the time water dries up, veggies too gets cooked partially. As we want little crunchy veggies only
  • When all the water in it almost dries up then add tomato ketchup.
  • Toss and its ready.
  • Do not cook much after the water has dried up else Paneer will get chewy.
  • Garnish with green coriander.
  • Serve with love, chapati optional.

Notes

  1. Cook on high flame only otherwise Paneer will get chewy. It takes roughly 5 to 6 minutes. During this time, water evaporates and other veggies are cooked too.
  2. Keep tossing every now n then.
  3. Switch off the flame as soon as the water dries up, otherwise paneer will get rubbery (chewy).
