Cottage cheese/ paneer with loads of veges

 Today I had to cook at home, as I put absent in the dining hall. Add to my woes today, power shutdown for maintenance from 9am-5 pm. I thought that after bath shall make my porridge in the microwave, sad, the power went off at 9 am sharp ! Was feeling lazy to warm milk for my cereal, had in cold milk. As I ate very little cereal, was hungry, had no tea since morning. 

Tomatoes were crying to use them. Paneer was also there, along with capsicum, potatoes and onion. I made cottage cheese crumble with onion, tomatoes, capsicum and potatoes.

I love capsicum, as potatoes were also getting old, decided to use them.

 

INGREDIENTS

onion 2 chopped fine

garlic cloves 2 big chopped fine

green chilies 2 slit

tomatoes 4 chopped fine

potatoes 4 chopped very small, so that it will cook fast

capsicum 2 chopped

paneer/ cottage cheese 200 gm

salt to taste

turmeric pdr  1/2 tsp

kitchen king masala 1 tsp

oil 1 tbsp

jeera/ cumin 1/2 tsp

ajwain/ carom seeds  1/4 tsp

hing little 


METHOD

in a kadai, heated oil, added jeera and ajwain, once it spluttered, add hing, onion, garlic, green chilies.

added wee bit salt so that it will cook fast in little oil

when onion was turning pink, added the chopped tomatoes, mixed well

as tomatoes were soft, added the potatoes, turmeric pdr, salt for the veges, mixed well, covered to cook.

once potatoes were half cooked added the capsicum, mixed well, covered for it to cook fast.

once the veges were cooked, I added the kitchen king masala, mixed well, let it cook for another 2 minutes.

I removed more than half of the cooked veges, to the rest added the paneer chopped along with some salt. Mixed well, kept mashing the paneer to mix well with the other veges. Once the paneer was done, I removed, toasted 3 small slices on the tawa, as no power to use the toaster. I was feeling tired to knead the dough and make roti. Spread cream cheese on my slices, put some cheesey veges on top and enjoyed my toast.
