Capsicum Paneer, Moong Dhuli Dal, Rotis, Jeera Rice



Capsicum Paneer:
Make the paneer from ½ ltr milk. To make the paneer, boil ½ ltr milk, lower the flame after it comes to a boil, squeeze the juice of ½ a lemon, and keep stirring until the paneer separates. Then sieve this mixture, so that the paneer stays in the sieve. Compress the paneer, so that it hardens and make cubes in the sieve itself.
Take 3 capsicums and chop them finely. Also finely chop 2 small sized onions. Add the onions to a non stick frying pan and dry roast them. Add a little olive oil so that the onions do not stick to the pan. Add half a split green chilli, the onions need not turn brown. Sauté, then add capsicum and mix for another 2 – 3 mts. Add salt to taste, a little pepper and keep the mixture covered on low flame. Keep stirring in between.
- Level of difficulty: Easy
- Serves 3
- Self Appraisal – 9/10
- A little more paneer in case you are fond of them.

Moong Dhuli Dal:
Take 1 ½ cups of moong dhuli dal, wash nicely and transfer to a pressure cooker. Add some water. The water can be approx. ¾” above the level of dal in the cooker. Add a little salt (approx. 1 tsp), ½ tsp turmeric powder, one split green chilli and let the mixture pressure cook.
For the tadka, take a little ghee in a frying pan, add some jeera and let it splutter, add ½ tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp red chilli powder, and ½ tsp garam masala. Add this mixture to the dal in the cooker and mix nicely. Add water if necessary. Add alt to taste or compensate.
