Shahi Vegetables

Paneer(Indian Cottage Cheese) is a very good source of protein. I had a lot of peppers in my refrigerator, and decided to make a paneer dish with them.

Ingredients:
1 green pepper
1 carrot
1 small potato
1/2C cauliflower
1/4C green peas
1 onion, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1/2C Paneer cubes
3 green chili,slit
1t. ginger-garlic paste
1t. dhaniya-jeera powder
1/2t. garam masala powder
1/2t. turmeric powder
1t. red chili powder
1/4C. cream/ milk
1T. mawa(grated)
1/2t. sugar
oil to cook

Method:
1. Cut the vegetables into big pieces.
2. Heat oil in  the kadai or broad pan on medium high. Add chili, onion, and saute. Add ginger-garlic paste. saute till the onion is translucent.
3. Add tomato and saute for 5 minutes.  Add dhaniya-jeera powder, turmeric and chili powder. Saute till the tomato becomes pulpy.  Add the vegetables. Mix well.  Add salt,a little water,cover and cook over low heat till the potatoes are done(15 minutes). Make sure not to overcook cauliflower.
4. Add cream, mawa, and sugar. Mix and cook for 5 minutes. Add garam masala, paneer and mix gently.  Cook for 5 minutes.  Garnish with cilantro.  Remove from heat. Serve warm with roti, parantha or nan.

Mawa or Khoa is concentrated milk solids.
