Our lunch was polished off and these are the moments I feel extremely proud of the extra effort put in to my cooking. Hot rotis with kadhai paneer is a great vegetarian lunch to serve when you are looking for something quick to put together.
Ingredients for kadhai paneer:
250 gms paneer
1 capsicum diced into cubes
1 onion diced into cubes
1 onion sliced
1 cinnamon stick
1 or 2 cardamoms
2 or 3 cloves
4 dry red chilies
4 garlic cloves
1 tsp minced ginger
1 cup of tomato puree
1 tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp chili powder
3 tbsp cream (you can skip this, but I was in the mood for a creamy heavy meal)
1 tbsp kasuri methi
Recipe for kadhai paneer:
Step 1: Heat oil in a pan. Add in the cubed capsicum and onions. Let this fry a bit and then add in the paneer. Once the paneer is cooked and browned (make sure it doesn't break up), remove this and keep aside for later in the process.
Step 2: Use the same pan and heat some oil. Fry the sliced onions, cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves and dry red chilies. Grind all of this together with the garlic and minced ginger.
Step 3: Heat oil in a pan and add in the ground mixture. Then add the tomato puree, garam masala, chili powder and salt to taste.
Step 4: Then add in the paneer, capsicum and onions that were kept aside earlier. Mix it all well. Add a little water to this for the gravy and let it cook.
Step 5: Add some kasuri methi and cream (optional) and your dish is ready to serve.
Plate up!! Serve kadhai paneer with Indian bread or rice. I like having it with simple rotis.
