Level Of Cooking : Medium       

Ingredients

• Milk 4 cups

• Green peas 400 grams

• Lemon 1

• Ghee 2 tablespoon

• Onions 2 large

• Ginger 1 inch piece

• Turmeric powder 1/4 teaspoon

• Red chilli powder 1 teaspoon

• Coriander powder 1 teaspoon

• Garam masala powder 1 teaspoon

• Salt to taste

• Method

  Step 1

  Boil milk twice on high heat and add juice of one lemon. They will separate from paneer. Drain the whey, tie up paneer in a muslin cloth and hang it up all day to allow excess water to drain away.

  Step 2

  Place the muslin with the paneer under a heavy weight to ensure that all the moisture is squeezed out. This will flatten the paneer into a flat round cake when removed from the muslin. Cut the paneer into strips or cubes.

  Step 3

  Heat sufficient ghee in a Wonderchef Galaxy Wok and deep-fry till light brown. Drain onto an absorbent paper. Peel, wash and chop onions and ginger finely.

  Step 4

  Heat two tablespoons ghee in a Frying Pan and add chopped onions and ginger. Sauté till lightly browned. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt and peas and cook, adding a little water, till the peas are tender and a little gravy remains.

  Step 5

  Serve hot with chappatis in a elegant Wonderchef Galaxy Casseroles.
