Paneer Makhmali

So...I started searching for recipes with Cauliflower but somehow I got side tracked and finally ended up making Paneer-the Indian Cottage Cheese
                  The cauliflower has been sitting pretty in my fridge for a while now and in a couple of more days its not going to go rotten but Paneer does. So I finally made this dish. Even though this dish is made with paneer and milk it turned out to be quite spicy. So for all you paneer lovers and spicy food lovers here's the dish.
                   This dish might have been great with any Indian bread or ROTI but I served it with white rice and Kaccha Khatta

Paneer Makhmali (Indian Cottage cheese in a smooth mint flavored gravy)
Ingredients:

  1.  2 cups Paneer cut into cubes

  2. 1 medium onion sliced

  3. 1/2 cup milk

  4. 1 teaspoon madras garam masala

1 tbsp oil

To be ground into a thick paste
  1. 2 cups cilantro
  2. 1/2 cup mint leaves 
  3. 1 serrano chilly
  4. 3/4-1" piece ginger
  5. 1 heaped tablespoon cashew
  6. 1/4 cup yogurt
  7. 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  8. 1 teaspoon salt divided
  1. Pierce the paneer pieces with a fork and marinate them in the ground paste for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onions till they are translucent.
  3. Add the marinated paneer, sprinkle with garam masala and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add the milk and simmer till the milk evaporates.
