Method

1. Most recipes of paneer ask you to fry the paneer. But i don’t fry them at all .I just cut them to size & use them as they are. But if like the fried taste , you can cut them into wide strips & lightly fry them & then place them in luke warm water
2. Place the tomatoes in hot water for 10 minutes. Remove the skin & blend the into a puree.
3. Heat the oil in a kadhai, add the onions & fry untilgolden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste & fry for another1/2 a minute.
4. Add the dhania-jeera powder, turmeric powder,chilli powder, garam masala & kasuri methi & fry again for a minute.
5. Add the tomato puree & capsicum & cover & cook for 5-6 minutes.
6. Add the paneer, salt & sugar & cook for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Finally add the cream, stir well & serve immediately.
