Tomato, Onion, Paneer Curry / Tomato, onion, paneer palya

I was a big fan of Paneer Butter Masala until recently I came to know about this new recipe from my friend Rekha while we were talking on the way back home from office. This recipe is equally tasty and I am happy that I am not destroying the fiber of vegetables:)

Ingredients

Onion - 5 (medium sized)
Tomato - 4 (medium sized)
Paneer - 1/4 kg
Red chilli powder - 1/4 spoon
Coriander powder - 1/4 spoon
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves / Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek) - little
Butter - 1 spoon

For Tempering

Oil - 3 spoons
Mustard - 1 spoon
Turmeric powder - 1/4 spoon

 
Method

Wash & remove the skin of the onion. Finely chop the onion & tomatoes. Chop coriander leaves as well and keep it aside.

Heat a thick bottomed Kadai, add oil. Add mustard & turmeric. Once after the mustard starts spattering, add onions. Fry it in low flame.
Once the onions turn golden brown, add tomatoes and cook well in low flame. Add red chilli, coriander powder & salt and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Switch off the stove.

Simultaneously heat thick bottomed tava, apply butter and place thin slice of Paneer & roast till turns golden brown (as shown in the picture below). Cook both the sides. Switch off the flame. Leave it aside for 4-5 minutes. Now cut it into small pieces.

Add the Paneer pieces & coriander leaves (or Kasuri Methi, I use them alternatively) into the curry and mix well.

Your yummy Tomato, Onion, Paneer Curry is ready :). Please try and share your comments.

Note:- You can add two medium sized capsicum as well if you like. Finely chop and add it when onion turns golden brown.
