Cheese Tomato

Cheese Tomato in a creamy tomato gravy always make my mouth watery. I have eaten many versions of Cheese Tomato but today I cooked my version and it came out to be pretty well. It has more of a tangy taste which we loved.

Ingredients:


  • Indian Cottage Cheese ( Paneer) - 250 gms cut into rectangular size cubes

  • Tomato puree - 1/2 cup

  • Onions - 1 small

  • Yoghurt - 1 cup whipped

  • Garlic - 1 clove chopped

  • Ginger - 1 inch piece grated

  • Coriander powder - 2 tsp

  • Red Chilli powder -1 tsp

  • Garam Masala powder - 1/4 tsp

  • Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

  • Salt - to taste

  • Oil/Butter - 1 tbsp

Procedure:
  1. Heat oil in the pan and add the cumin seeds.

  2. Add the onions, garlic and ginger and saute them for 5 mins.

  3. Add the tomato puree and saute for another 5 mins.

  4. Add all the spices except garam masala and saute till the oil separates from the mixture.

  5. Remove from the heat and when it is a bit cool, blend the mixture in the blender.

  6. Add the yoghurt in the mixture. Mix well and then place it on the stove again on a low heat.

  7. Add the cubed paneer, garam masala and mix well.

  8. Let the gravy simmer for another 10 mins.
Garnish with the coriander leaves/cilantro.
Cheese Tomato is ready and we enjoyed it throughly in dinner.
You can always change the amount of spices in a dish as per your taste.
