Hurry Burry Paneer Curry
Hurry Burry Paneer Curry being very loyal to its name and also rhyming at the same time, can be made in less than 15 minutes :-). Now thats a good reason for you to try this one. I wouldn't say its over the top delicious, but for something that takes no time at all, its definitely a tasty one to keep in my drafts.And talking about rhyming reminds me of the poems - if it can be called that, that I had attempted when I was 7-8 years old with the only rule that it has to rhyme. Now you can go ahead and have a hearty laugh at my expense by reading one such poem that I can recall. There are so many more that I had written like this, but will spare you from all of them ;).
"Birds can fly
Far into the sky,
The grass is green,
But the Ants are mean"
So on that light note, lets move on :-)
Ingredients
Adapted from Easycooking
Serves - 3
Spice Level - Mild
Prep Time - 2 min
Cook time - 15 min
Paneer - 150 gm , cubed
Salt - as per need
Chilli powder - 1 Tbsp
Turmeric - a pinch
Kasoori methi - 1 Tsp , crushed
Oil - 1 Tbsp + 1 Tsp
To Grind into a paste
Onion - 2 , chopped roughly
Tomato - 2, chopped roughly
Carrot - 1 small
Green chilli - 1
Cashews - 5
Cloves - 2
Cinnamon, cardamom - 1 piece each
Milk - 1/3 cup
How do you do it
1. In a mixer jar, put all the contents under "to grind" and blend into a smooth paste. The milk should be enough to grind everything together. Keep aside.
2. Spread 1 Tsp oil on a heated dosa pan and place the paneer cubes and toast them on both sides until they turn a light shade of brown. Remove and keep aside.
3. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a kadai. Add the blended paste and close with a lid. Let it boil in medium flame for 10 minutes so that the paste gets cooked completely. Remember to close with a lid, once the paste gets heated it tends to splutter. Adjust consistency of curry by adding water if necessary. Add the chilli powder, salt and boil for another 2-3 minutes. Add the crushed kasoori methi and toasted paneer pieces and mix well. Boil for a minute more. Remove from flame.
Serve with Jeera Rice for a delicious lunch

I also prefer to add milk or yogurt but after masala is done never tried grinding masala with milk ...will def try n let u knw..
Looks too good for a 15 min prep.. BTW, any reason for the carrot? color? And Many of the online recipes warn about curdling of milk/coconut milk if added in the beginning... Is it a myth?... I haven't faced that but I do get too cautious about it and add it only at the end or use minimal amount. Arghh, too many questions!!!
BTW tried your version of aloo palak and it was super good. Using fried aloo is so much better than the boiled-mashed one!
Hey Nachu
Glad you liked the aloo palak , hi-five on the potato frying idea, i am not for using boiled ones either. :)
And yes you are right , carrot is for the color. Honestly, I haven't faced the curdling of milk issue either, even though i have heated them for quite some time, I am careful only when i add something acidic like lemon , vinegar to these dairy products , because that when chances are really high for curdling, otherwise its okay I guess.
