Kadaai Paneer

This is one dish we all always like to have as a side dish with Naan Roti or Phulka whenever we go out. I came to know that the wonderful araoma this dish have is due to the Kasoori Methi added to it. Kasoori Methi is nothing but dried Methi leaves. Infact this is available ready made in some brands. So there is no need to prepare it.

Ingredients:
500 grams paneer
100 grams capsicum (optional)
2 tsp. coriander seeds
5 red chilies
3/4 tsp. kastoori (dried fenugreek leaves) methi
2 chopped green chilies
2 tsp. chopped ginger
4 chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp. chopped coriander
3 tbsp. ghee
Garlic pods 6 to 8
Salt according to taste


Method:

Cut the paneer into thin pieces (cut the capsicum also the same length). Dry grind the coriander and red chillies together. Grind ginger and garlic together. In a kadai heat ghee and add ginger garlic paste and cook it for a few seconds in a low flame. Add capsicum and saute it for a few mins and when it starts turning tender add the ground powder. Add the finely chopped green chilles and cook for a few more mins. Add finely chopped tomatoes (better grind them) and cook untill the ghee comes on top. Add salt and Kasoori Methi and cook for a few more mins. Add the sliced paneer and let it cook for another 5 mins. Remove from fire, sprinkle finely chopped coriander leaves and ghee fried cashew nuts on top before serving. (make sure that the cashew nuts are finely chopped)
8.Finally, add the sliced paneer and cook for a few minutes. Sprinkle coriander on top and serve hot.
