Paneer or cottage cheese is my favorite
ingredient and I keep trying new paneer recipes every now and then. On the
other hand, methi or fenugreek is an integral part of Indian cuisine and methi
leaves are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. This recipe
combines paneer and methi in tangy gravy, and it tastes great with roti, chapatti
or poori. Though fresh methi leaves are always preferable, you may still use
dried methi leaves (Kasuri methi) instead. Here we go.
Ingredients:
Fresh paneer/cottage cheese – 200 gms, cut
into 1” cubes
Kasuri methi/ dried fenugreek leaves – ¼ teacup or 50 ml measure*
Onion – 1 no, finely chopped
Amchur/ dry mango powder – ½ teaspoon
Kitchen king garam masala – 1 teaspoon
Jaggery – powdered, ½ teaspoon (optional)
Salt – to taste
Oil – 2 tablespoons
Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon
To be
ground into a paste:
Tomatoes – 2 no, cut into large pieces
Onion – 1 no, cut into cubes
Ginger – ½” piece
Garlic – 3 pods
Coriander powder – 2 teaspoons
Kashmiri chili powder – 1-2 teaspoons (adjust
to taste)
*Alternatively, you may use 1 bunch of fresh
methi leaves. Wash the leaves in running water, drain fully and chop roughly.
