Paneer curry!


This is my first ever try at a Paneer (Indian cheese) dish. Apparently it was paneer makanwala recipe that I tried but called it paneer curry since I did not use butter at all.:) It came out pretty rich and tasty. It was ready in 20 minutes.

You will need:

1 block paneer (store bought/or home made) cut into cubes
1 cup tomato paste
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp chilli powder
salt to taste
1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves(kasoori methi)
1 cup water
1 tsp olive oil
4 tbsp evaporated milk

Method

Heat oil in pan. Add cumin seeds and ginger garlic paste and mix well. To this add the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes until the oil separates from the mixture. Then add chilli powder, turmeric powder, kasoori methi and salt and mix well. Add the paneer cubes and cook for another 2 minutes. Finally add the evaporated milk and stir gently for another 2 minutes. Add water to adjust the consistency.

Paneer curry is ready to be relished!!! It goes well it nan or rotis!!
