Paneer Tawa Masala

This is one name which just makes your taste buds drool....and leaves your tongue salivating..:)
The thing that attracts me most is the color, the nice reddish color which by itself is so attractive..
I tried it my own way. We liked it at home..:) That's enough for me..hihihi...Now coming to the post.

Ingredients:

- Kasoori methi- 1 tbsp
- Chaat masala- 1/2 tbsp
- Chilli powder- 1 tsp
- Salt
- Turmeric- a pinch
- Paneer cubes- 1cup
- Ajwain seeds- 1 tsp
- Cumin seeds- 1 tsp
- Onions chopped- 2 medium sized

- Tomato Puree- 1/2 cup or Pulpy tomatoes- 4-5 nos
- Milk/Cream (I added milk) - 2 tbsp
- Garam masala- 1/4 tsp

Procedure:
1) Mix Kasoori methi, chilli powder, chaat masala, salt and turmeric. Marinate the paneer cubes with this mixture for about half and hour.
2) Heat some oil in a pan and roast the marinated paneer till it becomes a little brown.
3) Heat some more oil. Add ajwain, cumin seeds and let it splutter.
4) Saute the onions till brown and also the crushed garlic.
