Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Heat Pan and Sauté Onions

Heat a pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté until it turns transparent, which takes about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare Ginger-Garlic-Chilli Paste

In a blender, combine 2 green chillies, 1 inch of ginger, and 3 garlic cloves. Blend them into a fine paste.

Step 3: Add Paste and Vegetables

Add the prepared ginger-garlic-chilli paste to the sautéed onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell of the paste disappears. Then, add 1 chopped capsicum and 1 chopped tomato to the pan.

Step 4: Add Spices and Cook Gravy

Add 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of chilli powder, 3/4 teaspoon of garam masala, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix all the spices well with the vegetables and cook until the tomatoes are well smashed and the mixture forms a cohesive base, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5: Simmer with Water

Pour 1 cup of water into the pan. Stir well and cook for 7 minutes until the raw smell of the spices completely disappears and the gravy thickens slightly.

Step 6: Add Paneer and Finish

Add 200 grams of grated paneer to the simmering gravy. Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves over it. Mix gently to combine the paneer with the gravy. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the paneer to absorb the flavors.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the hot Paneer Bhurji with chapati or phulka.
