Method
1. Clean and wash the paneer. Cube them and fry them in a non-stick pan in batches with 1 teaspoon oil each time. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, until they get the beautiful golden color on top. Drain them in a paper towel and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large saucepan with a lid. Once the oil ripples, add the cumin seeds and saute for 30 seconds. Then tear the chili into half and add to the tempered oil. Cook for another 30-40 seconds.
3. Add the onions, garlic and ginger and little salt. Cook until the onions lightly brown, approximately 8-10 minutes on medium low flame. Sprinkle the turmeric, chili and coriander powder and cook till the raw smell disappears, about 1 minute. At this point, if the spices have burnt, sprinkle little water to cool them.
4. Throw in the carrots, potatoes and bell peppers. Stir to combine. Sprinkle water over the vegetable and cook covered for 20-25 minutes. Don’t over fill with water. Kadai paneer needs to be al dente, with perfect crunch and crispness.
5. Garnish with chopped cilantro and garam masala and mix well. Top the dry curry with paneer before serving. It tastes great with roti/naan/chapati/rice.
