Capsicum paneer STEP BY STEP

Here is a very tasty and attractive dish, made with paneer or tofu and tri colour capsicums as the major ingredients. Sometimes this dish is also called as Kadai Paneer in India where only green capsicum is used and soya sauce is avoided.. The three capsicum varieties and soya sauce makes this a mixed cuisine dish. It can be taken as side dish for any item, or if you like it, just savour it as a salad too...

Ingredients:

green, Yellow and red capsicum 1 each

2 big onions

2 big tomatoes

Also need:

200 grams diced paneer or tofu

2 tsp cumin powder

1 tbsp pepper powder

2 tsp coriander powder (dhania)

(If you dont have any of these powders just dry roast a tsp of each seed and crush them into fine powder)

1 tbsp soya sauce

Salt to taste

Oil to fry

A full bunch of fresh coriander leaves

Method:

1. heat oil in pan, fry onions with salt added to it. (be careful with qtty of salt used as the soya sauce also contains salt in it)

2. Add the capsicums and saute for 3 minutes

3. Add tomatoes and saute for another 3 minutes

4. Add cumin, pepper and coriander powder and mix well

5. Add soy sauce and mix well, close lid and simmer for 5 minutes

6. Add paneer/tofu cubes mix well and simmer with closed lid on medium flame for another 3 minutes.

7. Mix well once, add finely chopped coriander leaves and remove from flame. (i have used little coriander leaves as i am using tri colour capsicum, if you use only green capsicum add more leaves to it along with some raw onions and raw tomatoes both chopped finely, while removing from flame.)
