Paneer Jalfrezi

Описание: According to the Internet, Jalfrezi has Anglo-Indian origins as it was once thought to have been the preferred dish of The British Raj. Other sites say the dish came from Bengal, where the word "jal" means hot.

Regardless, this dish is delicious, and takes no longer than 15 minutes to make. I love how the crisp Green Peppers contrast against the tender milkiness of the Paneer with just the right amount of heat. I have a feeling you're really going to like this one :)

I hope you enjoy this video! Scroll down for the full recipe :)

INGREDIENTS

5 tbsp, Canola Oil
1 small Onion, cut lengthwise into strips
1 medium Tomato, cut lengthwise into strips
1 Bell Pepper, cut lengthwise into strips
2 tbsp, julienned Ginger
2 Thai Green Chillis, finely minced
2 tsp, Cumin Seeds
1/2 cup, Strained Tomato Sauce
1/2 tsp, ground Turmeric
1 tsp, Garam Masala
1.5 tsp, Red Chilli Powder
A pinch of Black Salt
Salt to Taste
3 cups, Paneer cut into batons
Chopped Coriander

METHOD

Heat 2 tbsp of Canola Oil in a pan on high heat. When the Oil is hot, add Onion, Tomatoes, Peppers, Ginger, and Chillis. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Heat remaining Oil in pan on medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and allow to toast briefly for 10-15 seconds. Then add Strained Tomato Sauce, Turmeric, Garam Masala, Chilli Powder, Black Salt, and Salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the oil begins to separate from the tomatoes, and the mixture becomes pastes like in consistency.

Return cooked vegetables to pan, and toss in spiced tomato mixture until well coated. Then add Paneer. Gently mix the Paneer in, trying not to break it. Cook for 2 minutes until Paneer has warmed through.

Garnish with Coriander and serve hot with Rotis/Chapathis/Parathas. Enjoy! :)
