A fantastic recipe for kadai paneer/kadai veg I tried recently...absolutely heavenly!!!...:drool: I added some milk and a pinch of sugar towards the end...
Ingredients
14 oz. paneer, cut into cubes
1 small size onion, diced
1 small size green pepper (capsicum), diced
Water *
2 bay leaves
For the base
1 large onion finely chopped
1 large size tomato or 2 small size tomatoes, chopped
2 large garlic pods, peeled
1 inch ginger, cut into small pieces
2 green cardamom
1 to 1 1/4 inch cinnamon
1 tsp. kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)-optional
1/4 tsp. ground garam masala (store bought/ homemade)
1/8 tsp. ground turmeric
1/8 tsp. or more kashmiri red chilli powder (optional)
Salt (as per taste)
2 1/2 tbsp. + 2 1/2 tbsp. oil
For the spice mix ( to be ground fine)
8 red chillies broken
1 1/2 tbsp. coriander seeds
Method
1. Bring a pot of water with some salt to boil and switch off. Cut the paneer into cubes and plunge into the hot water. Let it sit for a minute. Drain, cover and reserve.
2. In a sauté pan, add the 2 1/2 tbsp. oil, and once it is hot, add the cardamom and cinnamon, followed by the finely chopped onion, turmeric, garlic and ginger. Sauté at low medium flame until the onion becomes translucent. Now add the tomato and salt.Sauté frequently, until the skin just leaves the pulp from the tomato and the oil starts separating. The longer it takes the tastier the base will be. Just few seconds before switching off the flame, add the garam masala and the kasuri methi. Allow the mixture to cool and grind into fine paste adding about 1/4 cup water (US standard measuring cup) (Make sure it is still thick, no where in the process, the mixture should be thin and runny).
3. In the same pan, add 2 tbsp. oil, add the bay leaves, followed by the ground paste. Add even more water (little though- 1/8 cup or little more) as the mixture is cooking again at low flame. Bring in the onion, green pepper (capsicum), ground spice mix (as needed), kashmiri chilli powder (if needed and for the color) and final touch of salt (if needed). Do not allow the content to become dry. While the mixture becomes thick, add the paneer cubes. Gently spoon the gravy over the paneer. Serve it hot with rotis/ phulkas.

Aloo Bonda:
Bajji/Bonda flour - 1 cup
onion - 1
carrot -1
Boiled and peeled potato - 3
green chillies - 3
mustard seeds
chill powder
turmeric powder
oil
salt
Method:
Heat a pan with oil, put mustard seeds, let is splutter, add onion, fry it, add salt, turmeric powder, chill powder, green chillies, fry for about 5 mins.
Add finely chopped carrot then mash the potatoes, add it and give a good mix, keep it in medium for about 5 mins. Now shape the aloo mixture as medium size balls.
In a bowl, add the bajji/bonda flour and add water, mix it well to get a consistency of pourable batter just like idly dosa batter.
Heat a deep pan with enough oil. Once the oil is hot enough, dip the aloo ball in the bonda batter and marinate it well with the bonda batter, drop in the oil.
You can fry for about 5 bondas simultaneously. Transfer the fried bonda to a plate covered with tissues. Let the tissue obsorb the oil.
Serve with tomato or cocunut chutney.
