ABOUT SIMPLE PANEER MASALA CURRY RECIPE

Paneer is the most favourite of many north Indian recipes; in fact today paneer is a must in all weddings all over India. It is a great food with huge health benefits. Wealth of protein, calcium, essential vitamins and minerals you name it. I made paneer by adding lemon juice and lemon salt to hot milk and separated the curds from the whey. I drained the curds in a thin cloth and pressed out the excess water. I placed a heavy grinding stone on it and let it remain for 2-3 hours and then put it in the fridge. I later thawed it and used it for my recipe.

Ingredients Serving: 4

2 tbsp butter
1 large onion finely chopped
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
½ tsp garam masala
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 ½ cup tomato Puree (I used medium sized 5 tomatoes)
½ tsp sugar
1 tsp salt or as needed
½ cup water
1 tsp kasoori methi
1 cup Paneer (approx... 300 gms)

Instructions

Heat the pan; add 2 tbsp of butter and allow the butter to melt. Add finely chopped onions and stir till the onions get light golden color.
Add coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala and ginger garlic paste and mix well for two minutes.
Add tomato puree and mix well. Add sugar and salt. Cook this for 5 minutes. (Tip) We are adding sugar as it will bring down the acidity and sourness from the tomatoes. Add some water and mix well again.
Then add kasoori methi and mix it well and finally add paneer to this masala. Mix and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
The yummy Simple Paneer Masala is ready to serve. Thank you for reading the recipe!
