Ingredients

• 200 grams Paneer
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Cumin seeds
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the paneer cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, heat the remaining oil.

Step 5

Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 6

Step 7

Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the chopped tomato, and cook until it becomes soft and mushy.

Step 9

Stir in the red and green bell peppers and green peas. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender.

Step 10

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and black pepper powder. Mix well to coat the vegetables and tomatoes evenly with the spices.

Step 11

Add the sautéed paneer cubes back to the pan.
