    Varutharacha Paneer Curry

    Now coming back to the recipe. Today we are cooking with Cottage Cheese/ Paneer, Its my favourite. 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.

    • 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.
