Indian Recipe - Paneer Kurchan

[Guest guest]

Paneer Khurchan

A nice dish in which you let the paneer and masala stick for a few seconds each

time before moving it on the tava. This gives it both its name and flavour.

 

Cooking Time : 10 min.

Preparation Time : 10 min.

 

Serves 4.

 

Ingredients

250 grams paneer(cottage cheese), cut into small pieces

2 tomatoes, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 onion, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/4 teaspoon chilli powder

a few drops lemon juice (optional)

3 tablespoons oil

salt to taste

For the garnish

1 green chilli, finely chopped

2 tablespoons chopped coriander

 

Method

1. Heat the oil in a tava on a high flame. Add the cumin seeds and fry for a few

seconds. When they become brown, add the onion and fry again for a while.

2. Add the paneer and tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. While cooking, add the

turmeric, chilli powder and salt. If the paneer sticks to the bottom, scrape

with a spatula. Repeat again every time it sticks to the bottom until the paneer

gets soft.

3. Scrape the paneer from the tava into a bowl and garnish with the green chilli

and coriander.

4. Serve hot

5. If you like, add a few drops of lemon juice.

Um... what's a tava?

Tava is a hot griddle (a flat cooking dish ). In the following link you may see

how it looks like. http://www.nmcexquisite.com/Recipes/recipes.html
