Answer 1

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. paneer (cubed)

• 2 medium tomatoes

• 1 green chilly

• 1/4 inch piece ginger

• 1/2 cup green peas (optional)

• 1/2 cup yogurt, whipped

• 2 tablespoons oil

• Pinch of hing

• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

• 1 tablespoon coriander powder

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

• 1/2 teaspoon red chilly powder

• 2 bay leaves

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (Green coriander)

• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Method

Deep-fry the paneer on low-medium heat until the paneer has a little golden- brown color. Set aside.

Blend tomatoes, green chilly and ginger to make a puree.

In a heavy saucepan, heat the oil. Add hing and cumin seeds. After the cumin seeds crack, add the tomato puree, coriander powder, turmeric, red chilly powder and bay leaves. Cook for about 4 minutes on medium heat. The tomato spice puree will start to leave the oil and will become about half in quantity. Add the whipped yogurt into the gravy. Stir occasionally for about 3 minutes on medium heat. To thicken the gravy, dissolve the cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of water and add to the gravy. Add the green peas and paneer. Let it cook for a few minutes until the peas are tender. Add the garam masala and cilantro. Add a little sugar if the gravy is sour.
