Brinjal Paneer

Recently I have been making a whole lot of Paneer dishes because everyone at home is loving it. So I am trying to make the paneer dishes a little more healthier by adding them to various vegetables. So this time it is the turn of EggPlant . And this recipe is pretty delicious either with roti or with white rice

Brinjal Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese in eggplant gravy)
Ingredients:

  1. 1 American eggplant
  2. 200 gms paneer cubed
  3. 1 medium small onion ground to paste
  4. 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
  5. 1/2 cup milk
  6. 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  7. 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, turmeric, cumin powder, garam masala, chilli powder
  8. 11/2 tablespoon oil
Cut the eggplant into half length wise and roast on fire for 5-8 minutes. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Scrape the flesh out of the skin and set aside.

In a pan add 1/2 tablespoon oil and fry the paneer pieces for 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Add 1/2 more tablespoon oil and fry the onion paste till it starts getting brown. Add ginger garlic paste and fry for a minute. Add the rest of the ingredients except milk and paneer and mix well. Add 1/2 cup water and cook for 10 minutes. Add paneer and milk and stir well and simmer for 10 more minutes. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy with steamed rice or with roti
