Ingredients
Paneer and Peppers
- 500 gm Cottage Cheese cut into round slices
- 1 each Bell Peppers diced, green
- 1 each Bell Peppers diced, yellow
- 1 each Bell Peppers diced, red
Marinade
- 1 tsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tsp Ginger Paste
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Dried Fenugreek Leaf dried fenugreek leaves
- 2 tsp Chaat Masala
- 1 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 2 tsp Honey
- 50 ml Mustard Oil
- 50 ml Vegetable Oil
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
Pineapple-Cherry Tomato Relish
- 4 slices Pineapple grilled and diced
- 12-15 Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 3 Chillies broken into halves, dried, red
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 2 sticks Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Sugar brown
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients.
- Add the paneer and diced bell peppers to the marinade. Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl and allow the paneer and peppers to marinate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the paneer to absorb the marinade.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add butter to the pan.
- Place the marinated paneer and bell peppers on the hot grill pan. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the paneer is lightly charred and the peppers are tender-crisp.
- To prepare the relish, heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the dried red chilies, cumin seeds, and cinnamon sticks to the hot oil. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the diced pineapple, brown sugar, and salt to the saucepan. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple softens and caramelizes slightly.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the saucepan. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
- Arrange the grilled paneer and bell peppers on a serving platter. Top with the pineapple-cherry tomato relish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
