Hi all, the holidays are here. It's a great time where family visits each other and have a wonderful time. My husband's cousin came over last weekend and this is what I made for her for dinner. It came out really well and she enjoyed it so did my family. So, here it goes
PANEER TAWA MASALA
INGREDIENTS
PANEER: I bought the Nanak brand, chopped into big rectangular pieces ( not too thin slices)
ONION: 1 large long thin-slice
TOMATO: 1 large long thin-slice
GREEN PEPPER: 1 large, long thin-slice
GINGER-GARLIC: 1 TBSP chopped long thin-slice
TURMERIC POWDER: 1 TSP
RED CHILLI POWDER: 1 TSP
CHAT MASALA: 1-2 TSP
JEERA: 1 TSP
KASURI METHI: 1-2 TSP Crushed
JEERA-DHANIA POWDER: 1 TSP
GARAM MASALA: 1 TSP
BUTTER/GHEE: 1 TBSP
MILK/CREAM: 1/2 CUP
OIL
SALT AS REQUIRED
FRESH CORIANDER/CILANTRO LEAVES CHOPPED
MAKING
Take a bowl, add the sliced Paneer pieces, add a bit of salt, Turmeric Powder, Red Chilli powder and Chat Masala. Rub it well to make sure all the paneer is coated with these spices. Now add a bit of oil and mix it well. This is our marination process, set it aside for half an hour.
After half an hour, take a non-stick flat pan ( Tawa), coat it with oil. Not too much just enough to make a light coating, place the marinated paneer pieces, flip it mid-way until both sides are golden brown. Set it aside on a plate, place a paper over the plate so all the oil could be absorbed by the paper.
Now, take a deep bottomed pan, add butter/ghee, add some Jeera, sliced Onions, chopped Ginger-Garlic, saute it for 4-5 minutes until the onion turns golden brown. Add the sliced Tomatoes and saute it for another 2-3 minutes. Add in the spices, a bit of turmeric powder, red chilli powder, jeera-dhania powder. Saute it for a few minutes, add a bit of water if needed. Now add the long thinly sliced capsicum, stir for a couple of minutes. Add the marinated Tawa fried Paneer, crushed Kasuri methi, required salt, fresh cream or milk. Cook for a few minutes in low flame until the salt is absorbed, the capsicum is soft and the gravy cooked. Finally add the Garam Masala. Garnish with fresh coriander chopped. Delicious Paneer Tawa Masala is ready to eat. Serve it hot with roti's or Naan's.
TIPS/VARIATIONS
I used milk but I felt cream would really go well. Thinly slicing the veggies lengthwise adds a bit of texture and works well with the rectangular paneer pieces.
