Paneer Kolhapuri is an interesting Paneer side dish and also different from the usual
Paneer Butter Masala and other paneer recipes. Recently i came across the name of the recipe through a friend and i just searched about the recipe in google and finally ended up in making my own to suit my family’s taste.
We had this with Jeera rice and simple
Yellow dal.
INGREDIENTS: (Serves 3-4 )
| PANEER CUBES |
1 CUP |
| ONION |
1 |
| TOMATO |
2 ( I USED 1/4 CUP TOMATO PUREE) |
| GINGER GARLIC PASTE |
1/2 TSP |
| CUMIN SEEDS |
1/4 TSP |
| DRY COCONUT(KOPARAI) |
4 TSP |
| WHOLE BLACK PEPPER |
5-6 |
| SAUNF ( SOMBU) |
1/2 TSP |
| SESAME SEEDS |
1 TSP |
| CARDAMOM |
1 |
| CLOVES |
2 |
| CASHEW NUTS |
4-6 |
| RED CHILLI POWDER |
1/2 TSP |
| CORIANDER POWDER |
1/2 TSP |
| OIL |
1 TBLSP |
| CORIANDER LEAVES |
FEW |
METHOD:
- Dry roast the black pepper, dry coconut, sesame seeds,cardamom , saunf, and cloves till the coconut turns nice brown color. Take care not to burn it. Lastly add the cashew nuts and switch of the flame. Grin this into a fine paste adding little water.
- In a pan, add oil and add the cumin seeds and ginger garlic paste.
- Saute in a low flame till the raw smell goes. Chop the onions finely and add to this.
- Saute till the onions turn brown.
- Now add the ground masala. After few seconds add the tomato puree( if adding tomatoes, grind it nicely and add at this stage) , red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt.
Let this cook for a while in a low flame . Add the paneer cubes and add water to reach a desired consistency. Check for salt. If you wish you can add a dash of garam masala. Garnish with coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with roti | jeera rice. Will be posting the recipe of jeera rice soon.
Note:
- Paneer can be replaced with mixed veggies like carrot, peas and cauliflower.
- You can add 1/2 tsp of poppy seeds( Khas khas) if you want while grinding the masala.
