Paneer Khurchan

Paneer Khurchan is one of the easiest semi dry North Indian side dish. The word "Khurchan" originates from Hindi language, it means "scraping". This dish is basically made by cooking paneer with onion, tomato, capsicum and Indian spices. One of the easiest and scrumptious side dish and it goes well with any rice or roti. I paired it with Vegetable Fried Rice.

Ingredients:

Paneer 200 gms

Onion 2

Tomato 2

Capsicum 1 cup (I used green and red varieties)

Ginger Garlic paste 2 tsp

Chilli Powder 1 tsp

Cumin Powder 1 tsp

Coriander Powder 1 tsp

Amchur Powder 1/2 tsp

Garam Masala Powder 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Kasuri Methi Leaves

Method:

1. Heat oil in a pan. Add green chillies, coriander leaves and saute for few seconds.

2. Add chopped onions and saute until they turn translucent.

3. Next add chopped tomatoes. Saute until the tomatoes turn soft.

4. Add ginger garlic paste. Saute for few seconds.

5. Add capsicum and saute for a minute.

6. Next add salt, chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder and amchur powder.

*** Please ensure that you make this sabzi in a heavy bottomed pan. Otherwise, the paneer and the gravy can be burnt while cooking.
