Makhai Paneer

I first time ate this in a restaurant recently. This Makhai Paneer (or Paneer-corn gravy as in the restaurant's menu) was so delicious that I tried it at home and it came out really great... I am sharing the recipe here...:)


Ingredients:
Sweet corn     -  1 cup
Paneer           -   10-15 cubes
Onions          -   2 nos.
Tomato        -   4 nos.
Ginger Paste     -   1 tspn
Green chilli        - 1 no.
Turmeric powder     -   1/2 tspn
Coriander seeds (powdered)    - 1 tspn
Jeera powder       -    1 tspn
Aamchur         -  1 tspn
Red Chilli Powder    -  2 tspn
Salt                  -  to taste    
Oil                  -   2 Tbspn


Method:
  1. Thaw  paneer cubes in lukewarm water and keep it aside. Meanwhile steam cook sweet corn.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan and add finely chopped onions and saute it until it turns light brown in colour.
  3. Then add the ginger paste. 
  4. Make puree of tomato and green chilli and add to it. 
  5. Let it cook for a while until the mixture leaves the side of the pan.
  6. Then add all the dry ingredients one by one and stir well.
  7. Finally add sweetcorn and paneer to it and mix well. 
  8. A little bit of water can be added if the gravy's consistency seems too thick.
  9. Let it cook for a couple of minutes and our gravy is done.

Confessions:
  • You can add garlic and garam masala to it for enhanced taste.
  • As I don't eat onions... the above pic is makai paneer sans onions ;) Nevertheless it tastes good. :)
  • Eat it with rice or any roti....!!
