Handi Paneer
Added: 23rd Jan, 2006 | Viewed 1666 times | |
This is a beautiful and fragrant dish from North India which is traditionally served in a 'Handi; a copper pot shaped like the earthenware pots used for transferring water in villages during the days gone by. These 'handis' sometimes feature intricately designed handles used to lift the hot vessel.
 
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 30 mins
Serves 4
  Vegetarian  From My Recipe Book
Ingredients
   200g paneer [cottage cheese]
   3 onions chopped fine
   1 tomato chopped fine
   1 green chilli sliced
   2 tsp grated ginger
   3 bay leaves
   1/2 tsp turmeric powder
   1/2 tsp kashmiri chilli powder
   1/2 tsp garam masala
   1/2 cup plain yoghurt
   1/2 cup water
   1 tbsp oil
   salt to taste
Method


Heat oil in a pan and brown the onions on high heat. Reduce flame, add green chilli, ginger, bay leaves, turmeric powder, chilli powder and garam masala. Mix well. Add the tomato and cook on low flame for 7-8 mins. Add the yoghurt and cook till dry. Season with salt and combine with water and paneer. Cook till the masala [spices] dries and coats the paneer. Add a little freshly ground pepper. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Remove from fire and serve.
Gel's Notes
  • Traditionally this dish was slow cooked in a "Handi", but you can always cook it in a regular pan and serve it in a "Handi" instead.
