Most of us have the question, how to make kadhai paneer with recipe of kadhai paneer? OR how to cook kadhai paneer with kadhai paneer ingredients? This ever-popular restaurant dish consists of paneer chunks simmered in a spiced tomato gravy. It's rich, robust, tangy, and on everyone's list of favorites! The creaminess of the paneer and the crunch of the vegetables go well together. Non-vegetarians can replace the paneer with chunks of boneless chicken. I find that kadhai paneer tastes best with Missi roti.
Cut the cottage cheese into 1-inch cubes.
Cut the bell pepper into 1-inch dice and deseed it.
Cut one tomato into 1-inch dice and deseed it. Finely chop the other tomato. Finely chop the onion.
Heat oil in a pan. Add the onion and sauté till light golden. Add the chopped ginger, chopped green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, and sauté for a minute till the chilies are fragrant.
Add the turmeric powder, the Kashmiri red chili powder, half the kadhai masala, chopped tomato, and cook on low heat till the tomato pieces are soft and pulpy. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook covered for 4-5 minutes or till the oil separates. Add the tomato puree and 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the cottage cheese and bell pepper and simmer covered for 4-5 minutes. Add the tomato chunks, sprinkle the remaining kadhai masala, salt, and mix well. Cover and cook till the oil separates.
