🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Kadai Masala
Dry roast coriander seeds, red chilies, black pepper, and fennel seeds on low flame until aromatic.

Cool slightly and grind coarsely. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Base
Heat oil and butter in a kadai (wok). Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.

Add chopped onions and sauté till golden brown.

Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until raw smell disappears.

Add the pureed or chopped tomatoes. Cook until oil starts separating.

Step 3: Add Spices
Add turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and the prepared kadai masala.

Cook the masala till it thickens and releases oil.

Add diced bell peppers and sauté for 2–3 minutes (they should remain a bit crunchy).

Step 4: Add Paneer
Add paneer cubes and mix gently. Cook for 2–3 minutes.

Add garam masala, kasuri methi, and fresh cream (optional).

Mix everything well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve hot with naan, roti, or jeera rice.

📌 Tips:
You can lightly fry the paneer before adding for extra texture.

Adjust spice level by controlling the red chili in the kadai masala.

Use ripe red tomatoes for a rich and tangy gravy.
