Paneer Jalfrezi Recipe
paneer jalfrezi is a tangy, mild, and semi-dry dish of cottage cheese cooked with vegetables. This is one more easy paneer recipe. At times I just want to cook easy and quick and I make such recipes. I do like extensive cooking at times, but not always. More so in the summer heat, slogging in the kitchen is not what I prefer.
Jalfrezi (also known as jhal frezi, zalfrezi, zalfraizi, jaffrazi) is a curry dish from India. According to a Wikipedia source, Jalfrezi recipes appeared in cookbooks of British India as a way of using up leftovers by frying them with onions and chili.
I think it is an Indian stir fry packed with a blend of mixed vegetables, some protein & a lot of spice.
Ingredients:
For Garnishing:
-
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
Recipe:
Step 1
At first, cut all the vegetables and paneer into 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
Then, heat oil in a deep non-stick pan on the medium flame and add cumin seeds to it. Let them crackle for a few seconds and then add sliced onion in it. Sauté until the onions turn brown in color.
Step 3
After that, add the ginger-garlic paste to the pan along with green chili paste, and fry for a minute. Then, add tomato paste, salt, turmeric, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala powder. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Now, add all the veggies and fry for 2 minutes. Then add sliced tomatoes and paneer cubes to the pan.
Step 5
Now, add 1 cup of water to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes. Cook until the gravy turns into a thick gravy.
Step 6
When the gravy becomes thick, garnish with coriander leaves.

Now paneer jhalfrezi is ready and serve hot with rice or tawa roti or paratha.
