Ingredients

(Serves 4)

1/2 lb paneer diced in cubes

3 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 medium onion thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves finely chopped

1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder (or mild paprika)

1 tsp coriander powder

Pinch turmeric powder

1 medium green pepper thinly sliced

1 small tomato sliced

Salt to taste

1" ginger slivers for garnish

1 Tbsp lemon juice

Fresh coriander for garnish

Method

1. Add oil in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan. Add cumin seeds and sizzle for 30 seconds. Add the onions and fry for 2-3 minutes on medium heat. As they begin to soften add the garlic paste and fry for a few seconds. Add all the spice powders and stir for a further minute. If the spices stick to the base of the pan add a splash of water.
   2. Now add the peppers and mix with all the spices for 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes at this stage and cook until slightly softened. Now add the paneer cubes and stir well to coat with all the spices. Cook for a couple of minutes, season to taste. Add the ginger, lemon juice & garnish with fresh coriander. Serve warm with naan or chapatti.
