Recipe for Methi Paneer

Ingredients:

Paneer 300 gms
One portion of fresh or handful dried Methi (Kasuri Methi)
Onion 4 medium sized
Tomatoes 3 medium sized
2 tbls spoon cooking oil (any vegetable oil or olive oil)
4-5 green chillies
2 tbls spoon cream
Pinch of turmeric powder, coriander powder and red chilly powder
salt as per taste

Cooking time - 45 mins

Finely chop the onions and green chillies. Heat the oil in a pan and add the green chillies. Then fry the onions till it is golden brown on low heat. Then chop the tomatoes. You can also use canned tomatoes or puree. If using puree, then you need about 2-3 tbls spoon. Do not add too many tomatoes or puree as we do not want to make a gravy.

Once the onion is golden brown, add tomatoes and cook for a few mins on low hear. The add the spices i.e. turmeric powder, coriander power and red chilli powder. Mash all of them togeather till you get a paste like consistency on low heat. It should take about 15 to 20 mins to reach till this stage. Now add the methi. If you are using fresh methi then it needs to be cooked for 3-5 mins. If you are using kasuri methi then you can add a little water along with it.

Now chop the paneer in cubes of about 1/2 inches. Do not fry the paneer as it will not blend with the methi. Now cook with the paneer for about 3-4 mins. Stir carefully so the paneer does not break. After the paneer takes the yellow colour, it is done cooking. Turn off the heat and add the cream immediately. Do not add the cream while the heat is on as it will change the taste. Serve hot with paratas. I would suggest laccha parath along with this dish
