Instructions

Heat butter in a pan. Add capsicum and saute for a while until it turns crunchy. Keep aside.

Grind tomato and soaked cashews without adding water to a fine paste.
Once the onion is done, add the tomato-cashew paste.
To this, add turmeric, red chilly powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt and saute until the raw smell of tomato and spices goes off and oil separates.
To this add the fried paneer and some water and simmer for 5-8 minutes.
Now add capsicum and simmer only for 2 minutes. Make sure capsicum remains crispy and not chewy.
Once done, garnish with crushed fenugreek leaves.
You may add a dash of cream just before serving.
