SIMPLY PANEER/ COTTAGE CHEESE

Everyone in my family loves paneer very much, and so I have to cook it twice a week at least. And I have a habit of not repeating same recipes over and over again in a month or so. And this habit of mine compels me to experiment with it to make some new preparation. I could not think of any name for this paneer preparation, so I decided to call it SIMPLY PANEER. 

 INGREDIENTS

 Refined oil- 1 Tbsp(You can use ghee if you are not calorie conscious)

Cumin seeds- 1 tsp 

Star anise-1

Ginger-garlic paste- 1/2 Tbsp 

Capsicum-1/2 diced

Tomato puree-11/2 cups 

1 cup paneer, cut into medium sized cubes

Salt, to taste

Sugar as per taste

Garam masala- 1 tsp 

Milk- 1/4 cup 

Chopped coriander leaves, to garnish

METHOD

In a pan add refined oil, cumin seeds, star anise, ginger-garlic paste.

Add the diced capsicum. Saute for 1 minute.

Add tomato puree. Add salt and sugar. Cook till it leaves oil on the sides.

Add milk and paneer cubes. Let it cook for 2 minutes on low flame.
