做法
分步操作
- 1
Dry roast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dry red chilies, black peppercorns, and fennel seeds in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
约 3分钟
烹饪提示: Be careful not to burn the spices, as this will make them bitter.
- 2
Remove the roasted spices from the pan and let them cool completely.
约 5分钟
- 3
Grind the cooled spices into a coarse powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示: The texture should be coarse, not a fine powder.
- 4
Heat half of the oil in a large kadai or deep pan over medium heat.
约 1分钟
- 5
Add the paneer cubes and shallow fry them until they are light golden brown on all sides.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示: You can skip frying the paneer if you prefer, but frying adds texture.
- 6
Remove the fried paneer and set aside.
- 7
In the same pan, add the remaining oil.
- 8
Add the bell pepper and yellow onion squares and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender-crisp.
约 4分钟
烹饪提示: Do not overcook the vegetables; they should retain some bite.
- 9
Remove the stir-fried vegetables and set aside with the paneer.

In the same pan, add the finely chopped yellow onion (gravy base) and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
约 7分钟

Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
约 1分钟

Cook the tomato mixture, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates from the masala, about 8-10 minutes.
约 10分钟
烹饪提示: This step is crucial for developing a rich flavor in the gravy.

Stir in the freshly ground kadai masala and salt.
- 15
Add the water and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.
约 2分钟
- 16
Return the fried paneer, bell pepper, and yellow onion to the gravy.

Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the paneer to absorb the gravy.

- 18
Stir in the cream (garnish) and fresh coriander (garnish) just before serving.
- 19
