Cheese Tomato (Paneer Masala)


Cheese Tomato - One of mine and my husband's favorite dishes :) Very easy to cook and simply delicious to eat. Here goes the recipe:


Ingredients

  • Onions (Sliced) - 3 medium
  • Tomatoes (Chopped) - 5 medium
  • Green chillies (Chopped) - 2 small
  • Ginger garlic paste - 2 tsp
  • Black pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Red chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Garam masala - 1 tbsp
  • Amchoor - 1/4 tsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Malai or cream - 1 cup
  • Milk - 1/4 cup
  • Paneer (Cut into small cubes) - 100 gms
  • Coriander (finely chopped) - 2 tbsp

Preparation

  • Take out paneer from freezer. Wash the pieces properly and keep aside so that it becomes soft with room temperature.
  • Heat some oil in a pan. Add chopped green chillies and onions to it. Fry them till the onions become golden brown in color. Add ginger garlic paste and saute for about 5 more minutes.
  • Remove the mixture from pan and keep it aside for sometime to let it cool. Add some tomatoes and fried onions,garlic paste to a mixer and make a paste of these.
  • Add this paste to the same pan and without adding more oil, saute the paste. Add the spices listed above and saute till oil begins to separate from the mixture.
  • After that, add the paneer cubes and mix them well with the paste. Do this for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add malai(or cream) and milk to the mixture and stir well so that no lumps are formed. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes. Keep on flame for 2-5 minutes more.
  • Cheese tomato is ready. Garnish with finely chopped coriander.
