• 100 g Red Chili Powder

Instructions

1. 1. Heat the ghee in a handi or deep pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and hing, and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.
2. 2. Add the tomato puree, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ghee starts to separate.
3. 3. Stir in the paneer cubes, cauliflower florets, green peas, and capsicum. Mix well to coat the vegetables in the spice mixture.
