Masala Paneer

                           This is a specially made dish for a particular Paneer loving girl!! Also this is the first veg dish I am making!!

Ingredients:
500gms Paneer (cottage cheese) (cut into little cubes)
4 medium size Onions (diced)
2 Tomatoes (diced)
3 tablespoons of Garam masala
2 tablespoons of Coriander powder
3 teaspoons of Red Chilly powder
1/2 teaspoon of Turmeric powder
2 teaspoons of Pepper powder
Salt to taste


How to MAKE:

First sauté the onions in oil and when they turn a slight shade of golden brown, make them into a paste in a Blender. Sauté the tomatoes and when they start to wrinkle, make a paste of them in a Blender. Heat a little vegetable oil in a pan and add the onion paste. Sauté till it reduces and loses most of the water.  Then add the tomato paste. Cook the mixture till the raw smell of the tomato is lost. Now deep fry the cubed Paneer (Cottage cheese) and add this to the onion-tomato mix. Cook this for about a minute and then add all the different powders mentioned above. Stir this well and add water if a thin gravy is required. Cook it on a low flame for 5 minutes. Serve hot!
