Heat ghee in a pan and add whole spices like cumin seeds, dry bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom and fry until turns aromatic.
Add the onion and cashew paste in the pan and cook well. After few minutes it will turn light brown.
Add tomato puree and mix it properly.
Add dry spices. Turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and red chili powder.
Now add yogurt into it.
Now add dry fenugreek leaves after crushing in between the palms.
While the gravy being cooked, on the other side we will cook peppers, onions and paneer in a separate pan.
We will keep the flame on high while cooking the vegetables. Add turmeric powder and garam masala powder.
When the peppers, onions are semi cooked and paneer turns little golden, add these to the gravy.
Mix everything well so that gravy combines with vegetables and paneer.
Add salt. Cover it for sometime and let it cook.
Gravy will cook and become thick. Our Pepper Paneer Masala is cooked and trady. Lastly add chopped fresh coriander into it and mix.
Its time for serving now. You can enjoy your Pepper Paneer Masala with anything like steamed rice, Jeera rice, chapati or bread. I combined it with jeera rice and sliced cucumber and onion.
