Methi / Kasuri Methi Paneer Sabzi ( Fenugreek and Indian Cottage cheese veggie)

I tried Methi Paneer for the first time and results were fantastic.Methi is bitter but when combined with Paneer it balances the taste.It goes well with Chapatis / Rotis. I made the dry version of it but one can make it with gravy as well depending on taste.

You would need following vegetables :- A bunch of Methi leaves , 1 Onion finely chopped,  1 tomato finely chopped,2 green chili chopped, 1 tbsp of ginger and 2 cloves of garlic.

In a pan add oil, once heated add cumin and mustard seeds, saute it for a while then add ginger and garlic to it and cook it for about 1 min. 

Now add onion and green chili to this and cook till onions become translucent. 

 

Now add tomatoes to this and cook till tomatoes become soggy.

Now add methi leaves and salt and cook it with a cover lid for about 8-10 minutes.

Add coriander , chili and turmeric powder to this and mix well, finally add crumbled Paneer to this  and mix it well , cook for about 2-3 min.Methi Paneer is ready.
