Chilli paneer and mushroom curry

This is one my OWN recipes, experiment with whose end results i was pretty happy :)). It so happened that i had couple of ingredients in the refrigerator for quite some time and had to use it soon. So that's how i came up with this recipe.

Ingredients:

1.)Capsicum - 1(finely chopped)

2.)Paneer - 200gms(cut into 1/2 inch cubes,preferably fried)

3.)mushroom -100gms

4.)tomato - 2 small(finely chopped)

5.)cumin seeds - 1tsp

6.)onion - 1 small(finely chopped)

7.)ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp

8.)garlic - 3 cloves(finely chopped)

9.)soya sauce - 1tbsp

10.)hot sauce - 1tsp

11.)tomato ketchup - 1 tbsp

12.)chili powder - 1tsp

13.)green chillies - 2(slit lengthwise)

14.)sugar - 1tsp

15.)turmeric - pinch

16.)salt

17.)oil - 2tbsp

18.) pepper - 1/2 tsp

19.)coriander powder - 1/2 tsp

20.)garamasla powder - 1 - 2 tsp

21.)coriander leaves - 1/2 cup

22.)Lime juice - 2tbsp

Procedure:

Take oil in a pan. When it is hot add cumin seeds, when they start spluttering add onions and green chillies and saute well. Then add turmeric powder, garam masala powder,chili powder and coriander powder. make sure that masala's do not burn. Then add ginger garlic paste and saute till raw flavor is gone. Then add finely chopped garlic and saute for min. then add mushrooms,tomatoes and capsicum and fry well. Add soya sauce and salt, then close the lid of the pan and cook till capsicum is properly cooked.

Keep checking on the veggies while the lid is closed, because it might get burnt if not stirred occasionally. If it is too dry and tends to get burnt add water and cook. Once the capsicum is cooked add panner and stir it. Now add hot sauce and tomato ketchup and stir till the panner gets all the flavors.Finally add lime juice and garnish with coriander. This can be served with roti or pulav.

Note:

Do not add paneer way ahead of time. If cooked for long paneer tends to crumble down.Fried paneer is preferred because it prevents the panner from crumbling down.

first add the soya sauce and then add salt. Adding soya sauce give saltiness to the curry, so adjust the salt in the curry accordingly.
