| Paneer Masala with Capsicum |
In continuation of the series North Indian side-dishes, I have today this delicious dish that I had long ago found
on the site cinnamon n spice. I had made it ages ago and remembered this yummy dish occasionally but since I could not remember the details I have just hoped to make it yet again.
The other day when I was cleaning up I found the scrap of paper on which I had written the recipe.

Paneer Masala with Capsicum
Recipe Source: CinnamonNspice
Ingredients:
- 400 gms paneer, diced
- 2 medium capsicum, diced ( I used coloured)
- 2 onions, chopped fine
- 4 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 large tomato
- 1 tsp garlic ginger paste
- 1 tbsp kasuri methi (dry fenugreek)
- 1 tbsp cashews
- 1tbsp raisins ( I did not use)
- A pinch black salt
- 1/4 tsp red chilli powder
- A pinch hing/asafoetida
- A pinch turmeric powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt to taste
- 2-3 tbsp oil
- 2-3 tsp of North Indian Spice Masala
Method:
- Heat a kadhai/wok and drop the Kasuri Methi. Switch off the gas. Set aside. Once the pan cools crush the methi between fingers and powder it.
- If using soak raisins in hot water for a few minutes and drain.
- Heat oil in a kadhai/wok. Add cashews and sauté till golden in colour.
- Drain them. In Goa, we can pick up assorted sizes but you could chop them into smaller pieces.
- In the same oil add capsicum sauté for a few minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Now add hing/asafoetida, ginger-garlic paste and sauté till the raw smell goes away.
- Add the onions and sauté till transparent.
- Add tomato puree and cook for a few minutes on low heat till oil separates.
- Now add salt, rock salt, sugar, and turmeric powder, red chilli powder mix and cook for a minute on low heat.
- At this point you can add the capsicum cover and cook for a minute. But since we do not like cooked capsicum
much I did not do this step. - Add chopped tomatoes, salt and the ground masala. Cover and cook for few minutes till capsicum (in case you are cooking the capsicum) is tender yet firm.
- Add paneer pieces and salt mix well. Cover and cook for a minute or two. Add crushed kasuri methi. In case you are using raisins now will be a good time to add them.
- Switch off the heat add the capsicum in case you have not cooked it like me.
- Add cashews. Garnish with coriander leaves.
- Enjoy with hot with chapattis.
