Hello Friends..Happy Krishna jayanthi everyone..Sorry about not having a glossary for krishna jayathi in my blog. I totally forgot about that, because I am a air head..HE HE..I thought of creating a glossary but some how missed it..I am planning to make so many things, but yet to start cooking. I will try to post pictures of our krishna jayanthi celebration in our house.

Now coming back to the recipe…Today we are cooking with Cottage Cheese/ Paneer, Its my favorite… I always have a packet of that in our fridge, because you never know when you need it. The cool thing about this is it gives you the meatier taste which a chicken provides and also it absorbs the flavour which you all into it.
This recipe was born from an accident. Because I thought of making it entirely different. But somehow the curry landed like this..I am not complaining about this, because the taste was wonderful. I hope you will give it a try and tell me how it turned out for you.
Ingredients:
Paneer – 200 gms cubed
Oil- 2 tblspn
Salt to taste
Sugar – 1 tsp
For Roasting & Grinding 1:
Oil- 1 tblspn
Fennel Seeds / Sombu – 1 tsp
Cinnamon / Pattai – 1 small piece
Cumin Seeds / Jeerkam – 1 tsp
Coriander seeds / Kothamalli – 1 tblspn
Dry Red Chilli – 10 ( I used Kashmiri Mirch)
Coconut -2 tblspn
For Roasting & Grinding 2:
Oil- 1 tblspn
Onion – 1 chopped
Tomato-1 chopped
Method:
Heat 1 tblspn oil in a kadai. Add in cubed paneer cubes and fry till light golden. Remove them and soak them it hot water till use. This way the paneer remains soft.
Heat 1 tblspn of oil and add in the fennel,cinnamon,cumin,coriander and dry red chilli  and roast them till everything turns golden. It will take around 5 mins.
Add in coconut and saute them for 3-4 mins.
Now remove them in a blender and make into a fine puree by adding some water. Keep this aside for just a moment.
Heat 1 tblspn oil again and add in onions and saute till they turn golden. Add in tomatoes and mix well. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Now remove them to the same blender where the spice masala is kept. Grind all these together to a smooth paste.
Heat 1 tblspn oil in the same kadai and add the ground masala. Add some water and bring everything to a boil.
Add in salt and sugar to taste. Mix well and simmer this for 15-20 mins till oil separates from this.
Now add in the drained paneer cubes and simmer for 5 more mins.
Switch off the flame and serve with roti or anything.

    I had some leftover paneer, so I made it today. Wow, it was so spicy! My husband tried a little when it was simmering and asked me: "Can we make a whole bucket of raita to have with this?". Hehe.
