Paneer Makhnwala...

I love the event Blog Hop, as we come to know more bloggers and varieties of food... This month I was paired with Achu's Amma's Kitchen and I selected Mutter-paneer but I didn't use mutter but prepared paneer in the same procedure given by Achu with little alterations with the ingredients.

Ingredients

Paneer - 100 gm

Onion - 1 Large

Ginger - 1'' Piece chopped

Garlic - 4-5 cloves chopped

Tomato - 1 Large

Cashew-nuts - 2 tbsp

Garam Masala - 1 tsp

Black Pepper - 1/4 tsp (freshly crushed)

Salt - 1 tsp

Water - 1 cup

Fresh Cream - 3 tbsp( I used Amul Fresh Cream)

Procedure

1. In a kadai shallow fry the cubed paneer, both the sides with 1 tbsp of oil.
2. Remove it and keep aside.
3. In the same kadai heat 2 tbsp of oil and put the sliced onion, chopped ginger, garlic and cashew-nuts. Cook it for 4-5 minutes.
4. Now add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Once cooked strain it and let it cool for few minutes.
6. Blend it to a paste.
7. In the same kadai heat 2 tbsp of oil and put the paste into it.
8. Now add salt, turmeric powder, black pepper, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and a cup of water and let it cook for 5 minutes at low heat.
