Mutter Panner

Finely chop red onions and tomatoes. Prepare the curry by first cooking the onion with olive oil until brown. Then add the tomatoes and spices - haldi, salt, garam masala and chili.

Cut paneer into cube. You can fry the paneer too (separately) if you wish but you can reduce some oil by just adding in the paneer to the gravy. Add some frozen peas as well. Gently stir for few minutes until the peas are cooked.

Paneer Fajita

In this improved paneer fajita the paneer is not fried and it tastes even better! Chop red onions and peppers and cut the paneer into strips.(The cucumber in the picture is not for this recipe!)

Saute the onions in some olive oil. Then add the peppers and cover and cook for couple minutes. Add haldi and salt to taste. Add the paneer and ready to serve!
