2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 large onion, halved and finely sliced
1/2 tablespoon ginger paste
1/2 tablespoon garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder

1 small green pepper, quartered, deseeded and sliced (150g)

Heat oil in a skillet and fry cumin seeds for one minute.

Add onion and fry on low heat until soft. Add more oil if necessary.
3
Add ginger and garlic paste and fry for a few seconds until well blended.

Sprinkle in the spice powders and some salt and cook on low heat until the oil begins to separate in about 3 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
5
Add the sliced pepper pieces, stir and simmer gently until they are nearly done but still hold their shape, for about 8 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and paneer and cook for about 2 minutes until soft but not mushy; the tomatoes will begin to soften at once because of the salt that has already been added.

8
Serve with Indian bread as suggested by Monisha Bharadway or with basmati rice and another Indian dish/other Indian dishes.
