Ok I'm superbly tired and he is in a mood to have something different preferably paneer but not order from a restaurant... Now cummon, I had a rather long day after an even longer day.....
So I pick up the dish with minimal cutting and frying involved.... Paneer in gravy.... Here's the recipe:
Ingredients :
Paneer 250 g _ diced in cubes
Onions 3 medium sized. Diced not chopped
Tomatoes 3 medium sized diced
Green chillies 2
Garlic cloves : 4 to 5 large
Ginger : an inch cut.
Oil to cook : 3 tablespoons
Water
Milk 1/2 cup
Dry Red chillies solid : 2
Red chilli powder : 1/2 teaspoon
Bay leaves : 2
Cumin seeds : 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder : 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste.
Now let's cook :
On the stove put a pan and add a tablespoon of oil. Once its warm add onions. Cook them for about 3 mins or till they turn golden. Now add tomatoes garlic ginger and green chilli. Cook for another 4 mins or till the tomato soften. Now add a cup of water and bring to boil. Turn the heat to medium and let the mixture cook for 10 mins. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
Once cool, use a blender to make a smoothie.
Now put a pan on the stove and add a tablespoon of oil. Add the Cumin seeds, red chilli and bay leaf. Temper the spices, now add turmeric powder and let it cook for a minute. To this add the onion mixture and bring to boil. simmer the gas and let the curry cook for 10 mins. Add water if the curry is too thick. Now add milk and red chilli powder and salt. Stirring continuously cook for 5 mins. Now all you have to do is add paneer chunks and cook for another minute.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve....
Bon Apetit
One little tip: The gravy tends to have the water separated so don't add too much water
