This week, I have chosen to take part in a unique challenge as part of BM #37. In this, our fellow BMers have each put out a recipe for us to choose from. So from a list of about 15-18,we needed to pick three and showcase them this week.
As soon as I saw this recipe name from Sapana, I was tempted to try it out the same day and we loved it. Special thanks to Sapana from our family as well. So for day 1, week 4, here is the the delectable Paneer Lababdar.
Recipe source -Tarla Dalal
Ingredients -
Paneer (Cottage Cheese) cubes 1 cup
Coriander (Dhania) Seeds , roasted and crushed 1 tsp
Crushed Red Chillies 2 tsp or 3 Whole Red Chillies , coarsely ground
Kasuri Methi 1/2 tsp
Onions, finely chopped 1/2 cup
Ginger-Garlic paste 1 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Tomatoes, chopped 1 1/2 cups (I used 2 Tbsp tomato puree and 1/4 cup of chopped tomatoes)
Milk (low fat) 1/2 cup
Cornstarch or Cornflour 1/4 tsp
Garam Masala 1/4 tsp
salt to taste
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp)
In a heated pan, add oil and cumin seeds. After they crackle, add the crushed coriander seeds, kasuri methi, crushed red chillies and onions.
Saute the onions until they turn slightly brown.
Add in the ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder and tomatoes. Also pour in 4-5 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture simmer until the oil floats on top.
Remove from fire and let it cool. Upon cooling blend into a smooth paste and transfer to the pan. Let it boil.
Mix cornstarch/cornflour in 1 tablespoon of milk and set aside.
After the onion-tomato mixture comes to a boil, add the cornstarch-milk, milk, garam masala and salt.
Mix well and gently slide the paneer cubes into the simmering gravy. Remove from fire after about 3-4 minutes.
Garnish with Cilantro (coriander leaves) and serve warm with Roti/Naan.
