Paneer kali mirch

Picture to be posted later. Didn't want to lose the recipe as it is different from the usual paneer dishes and goes well with Indian breads like roti and Kulcha.

Paneer 250 gm cut into cubes
Onion 1 peeled and separated like in Chinese cooking
Capsicum 1 small cut in cubes
Onion 1 large chopped
Ginger 1 inch
Garlic 7 to 8 cloves
Cashewnut 7 to 8
Green cardamom 2
Peppercorns 15 to 20 roughly crushed
Garam masala 1/2 tsp
Green chillies 2 slit
Salt to taste
Kasuri methi 1 tbsp
Oil 2 tbsp

Grind onions, ginger, garlic and cashews to a fine paste. In a pan take 1 tbsp oil and saute cubed onions till translucent. Add capsicum and saute till partly cooked. Add paneer cubes and saute for 1 minute. Keep aside.
Add 1 tbsp oil to the same pan. Add cardamom and slit green chillies. Then add the ground onion cashew paste and saute well for 2 mins. Keep stirring. Add 1/2 cup of water, salt to taste, garam masala and crushed pepper. When it comes to a boil, add sauted paneer, capsicum, onion. Mix well and then sprinkle kasuri methi on top. Rub the kasuri methi in your hand to powder before adding. Serve with roti and enjoy.
