Achari Paneer

As most of you know by now, I am vegan by choice. I very rarely cook using any milk product. Recently I decided to make paneer when my nephews were coming for dinner. They like paneer and it was easy for me to try something new as well. I think it was second time I made something with paneer in recent years. I wanted easy no-spice recipe so that kids can enjoy. Here is the version I made which was enjoyed by adults and kids equally. I have made this twice after that and it was instant hit both the times. Here is how I made it - Serves 4-6 1 block of Paneer (1lb) 1 Red Bell Pepper 1 Onion 1 Tomato (optional) Salt per taste Chili Powder per taste 2-3 tbsp Oil Achari Masala - ( Modified version of The Cooker's Bihari style Chili Pickle Masala ) 1 tsp Mustard Seeds 1 tsp Nigella Seeds (Kalaunji) 1 tsp Fenugreek seeds 1 tsp Fennel Seeds 1 tsp Cumin seeds Preparation - Cut paneer in 1/2" cubes. Similarly cut onion, bell pepper and tomato in 1/2" cube. H
