Recipe (serves 6)

Ingredients

Paneer - 400g

Onions - 2 finely chopped

Tomato - 2 medium sized chopped finely

Salt - to taste

Chilli powder - 1 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Garam masala - 1/4 tsp

Coriander leaves - for garnishing

Oil - to fry

Method

Dice the paneer and keep aside.

Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed vessel. Add the curry leaves and onions and fry until golden brown. 

Add the tomatoes and the spices and mix well. Fry well until the raw smell goes, tomatoes turn mushy and the oil starts to separate from the mix. 

Add the paneer and mix to coat the gravy well on the paneer. Add the curd and mix well. Cover and let the mix cook until the raw smell of the curd goes. 

Remove from heat and add coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti or rice. 

Verdict This is a quick recipe and turns out very tasty. The trick is to chop the onions and tomatoes really fine. Fry the onions until they are browned before adding the tomatoes.
