Ingredients

• 250 grams Paneer
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and deseed the bell peppers. Cut them into similar-sized pieces as the paneer.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic cloves and grate the ginger to prepare the ginger-garlic mix.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them crackle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 6

Add the ginger-garlic mix to the pan and sauté until the raw smell disappears, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chopped bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften but are still slightly crunchy.

Step 8

Stir in coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the bell peppers with the spices.

Step 9

Add the paneer cubes to the pan and gently mix to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the paneer is heated through and slightly golden.

Step 10

Sprinkle garam masala over the mixture and give it a final toss.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot as a main dish or alongside keto-friendly flatbread.
