The inspiration for this dish came from a paneer tikka recipe that I have used previously. It is pretty simple to make if you have the mint chutney. I usually buy it frozen and use and it comes out really well. Good to ear with hot rotis.
Ingredients:
- Slab of paneer cut into cubes
- Mint chutney - 1 cup
- Yogurt - 1cup
- Ginger paste - 1 tsp
- Garlic paste - 1tsp
- Tandoori Masala - 1 tsp
- Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
- Salt
- Capsicum - 2/3 chopped
- Oil - 1tbsp
- Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
- Jeera - 1tsp
- Haldi - 1/4th tsp
- Curry leaves - 8
- Green Chillies - 4 slit lengthwise
- Mix the yogurt, mint chutney, tandoori masala, ginger paste, garlic paste, chilli powder and salt and marinate the paneer cubes in it for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Overnight is even better.
- Heat oil in a pan and add murtard seeds, jeera, turmeric and let it sputter.
- Add the green chillies and curry leaves and sautee for some time.
- Add the marinated paneer cubes after draining away the liquid and stir fry until they brown around the edges. Save the marinade.
- Add the capsicum and stir until they are a little cook. They do not need to be soft and fully cooked so that there is some crunch to the dish.
- Add the left over marinade and cook on high heat for 2 mins and turn off the gas. Enjoy with rotis or just by itself. Trust me its yummy!
