The recipe sounds difficult but it can easily be made in 10 minutes. The preparation time could take a while though, so make sure that you have prepared your fresh paneer and gram flour masala for this recipe well ahead of time. For the gram flour masala, you need to saute 2 tbsp besan by gradually adding water till it gets the smooth batter-like texture. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and a bit of dry mango powder and saute them well until the oil is absorbed and lumps are formed. Now add water gradually until the masala becomes a smooth paste, finally add salt and stir before switching off the heat. Now in a pan, add little butter and saute chopped green chillies, chopped ginger, chopped onion, tomato, salt and cook till tomatoes get soft. Now add prepared besan masala in it. Lastly, add the fresh paneer made at home and mix it with your hands properly for 5 minutes. Garnish it with fresh coriander leaves. Eat it with parathas or naan.
