Tomato Paneer Recipes

PANEER TOMATO CURRY

Steps:

• In a thick bottomed pan heat oil. Add dry bay leaf, 2 cloves, 1 cardamom, 1 cinnamon stick and 1/2 tsp cumin seeds.
• As they splutter, add 3 medium sized onions cubed.
• Fry until the onions are translucent on medium flame and add 1 tsp ginger garlic paste. Cook for 2-3 mins until the raw smell is gone.
• Now add all the spice powders - 1/2 tbsp Kashmiri red chilli powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp pav bhaji masala powder and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder.
• Cook the spice powders for 2-3 mins on low flame and then add 3 medium sized tomatoes cubed.
• Fry on medium flame for 4-5 mins, it is not needed to cook the tomatoes until mushy. They should retain the shape. Add 1/2 tsp sugar and salt as needed for the curry.
• Now add 200 grams Cubed Paneer.
• Mix well and add 1/2 tsp garam masala powder.
• Cook for a minute or two and then garnish with 2-3 tbsp of finely chopped coriander leaves. Remove from heat.
• Serve hot immediately with any Indian bread of your choice. Also goes well with Pulao or dosa.

PANEER WITH BURST CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Toss scallions, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl to combine. Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a chef's knife, coarsely crush coriander seeds and add to vegetables along with cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, chile powder and turmeric; set aside.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Arrange paneer in a single layer in pan and cook until golden brown underneath, about 1 minute. (If paneer is sticking, just give cheese a little more time to brown. It will release from pan once it is sufficiently crisped.) Using a slotted spatula or spoon, transfer paneer to a plate, leaving as much oil behind in pan as possible. Turn browned side up and season generously with salt.
• Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to same skillet. Cook reserved scallion mixture, stirring often, until scallions are wilted and mustard seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, sugar snap peas, and 1 cup water to skillet and season with salt. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Gently smash each tomato open with a spatula (you just want to break them open a little) and simmer until tomato juices thicken slightly, about 3 minutes (it should still be pretty brothy and light). Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. If your tomatoes aren't super sweet, you may need to add a pinch of sugar at this point to balance their acidity. Add paneer back to pan and simmer until warmed through.
• Remove pan from heat and toss in mint. Serve with cooked rice.

TOASTED TOMATO-PANEER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook paneer in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook on other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool slightly, then crumble into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
• Add onion, garlic, jalapeño, ginger, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds to same pot and cook (still over medium), stirring often, until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add coriander, cayenne, and turmeric and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and stir in reserved paneer. Cover pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 15-20 minutes.
• Spread a slice of bread with ½ cup sauce. Top with some of the red onion, cheddar, and cilantro (about a sixth of each); close up sandwich with another slice of bread. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 5 more sandwiches.
• Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium. Cook 2 sandwiches, pressing down occasionally on them with a spatula to ensure good contact with the pan, until underside is golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn sandwiches over and cook until other side is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat process two more times with remaining butter and sandwiches.
• Slice sandwiches in half and serve with ketchup.

Steps:

• Firstly, place paneer on a chopping board and cut into cubes. Now, finely chop the onions and cilantro. Also, slice the green chillies.
• Take boiling water in a large bowl. Add some salt and immerse the chopped paneer cubes in it. Remove them after 10 minutes. This process makes the paneer soft.
• Now, place a frying pan over medium flame and add butter into the pan. Once the butter melts, add onions and green chillies and fry them until golden in colour. Keep the flame low.
• Then, add the tomato puree and cook on low flame until the mixture is reduced to half. Now add the ginger-garlic paste and cook covered for another 10 minutes on low flame.
• Mix in salt, black pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the paneer cubes and mix. Be gentle or they might disintegrate. Now, bring the mixture to a boil and turn off the flame.
• Garnish the mixture with chopped cilantro and serve! Do try this recipe, rate it and leave your comments in the section below.

PANEER CON TOMATE

Steps:

• Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the tomatoes directly over a serving plate, pressing down with your palm so that all of the pulp goes through, and you're left with just the thin outer skin. Get rid of the skin and season the pulp generously with the salt and pepper.
• Cut the paneer into strips about 1-inch thick, then rotate the block and cut the strips to make bite-size squares.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick pan over medium and add the paneer, letting it brown lightly, about 1 minute. Flip the pieces to get the other side a little brown, about 1 minute, then pile the paneer onto the tomato pulp.
• In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When the mustard seeds start to pop, crumple the curry leaves and add them to the pan, shaking it gently to sauté the leaves. Tip it all directly over the paneer and serve warm, or at room temperature.
