Ingredients:
¾ cup Fresh Paneer cubes (12-14 medium pieces)
½ cup Green Bell pepper cubes
3 tbsp plain Yogurt
¾ cup Onion, thinly Sliced
1 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
2 tbsp Butter
¼ tsp Turmeric Powder
3-4 tbsp Oil

3 Cloves
3 cardamom pods
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
::::For Green masala::::
4-5 green Chilies
½ cup Mint Leaves
½ cup Cilantro leaves


Method:
1) Put yogurt into a clean cotton cloth and hang for ½ an hour so that excessive water will get removed and when we will add yogurt into curry, it will not curdle because of heat.
2) For making Masala, grind Cinnamon, Cloves, Cardamom pods, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder in the grinder.
3) For Green Masala, grind Green chilies, Mint leaves, Cilantro leaves and little salt together to fine paste.
4) In a nonstick pan, heat oil and sauté onion until it becomes translucent. Add little salt while sautéing. Once it become translucent remove from pan and let it cool down. Then grind to fine paste. There will be little oil remaining in the pan. Place Paneer pieces on it and fry lightly. Do not fry for longer time; otherwise, it will become brown in color.
5) Heat a nonstick pan; add butter and sauté ginger garlic paste. Turn heat on medium. Add masala, which we have made in Step 2. Sauté for a minute. Put bell pepper cubes and stir-fry briefly.
6) Then add Green Masala and sauté for a minute. Add Onion paste. Sauté and add ½ cup water and salt to taste and let it cook for couple of minutes. Keep heat on low. Add briefly fried Paneer pieces, hung Yogurt and mix gently. Curry will start leaving butter after few minutes. Then remove from heat and our Dish is ready to serve.
Serve hot with chapatti, Roti, Naan, or even with white rice. Combination of Paneer and Mint tastes amazing.
