Peppy Paneer

This gravy was outstandingly delicious, even if I do say so myself- I was toying with a couple of other titles for this one when my daughter in her inimitable style came up with the title I’ve gone with. The base gravy/curry/sauce (call it what you will) was made with yellow and orange bell peppers, habanero and green chilis – So the name is quite apt for the dish. While the tongue tingled and the flavors of the peppers danced on our tongues -the innate sweetness of the bell peppers and the flaming heat of the habanero, and their combined distinctive aromas, we enjoyed this with homemade garlic naan which too I shall be blogging about. This will be a sure fire hit in all home with a penchant for paneer dishes – guaranteed success, folks 
You've got your veggies, your fat and protein and with a naan or rice, your carbs as well :)

Ingredients

1 block of paneer as sold in the Indian stores

1 each of the orange & yellow bell peppers

½ a habanero

½ a red onion (optional, but I used them)

2 ripe roma tomatoes

10-12 pieces of roasted Planters cashews

2 cloves of garlic (optional)

1tsp of turnmeric

A sprig of sage (about 2-4 leaves)

2 tsp of olive oil

Salt

Preparation

Chop your peppers and cube your paneer

Heat tsp of oil and throw in all the ingredients (except the paneer) and saute until veggies soften

Cool and grind into sauce

Use the 2^nd tsp of oil to lightly fry the paneer cubes

Add the sauce over the paneer and simmer for a bit till the paneer soaks in the sauce.

Serve hot with naan or even with rice or pasta!
