Brinjal Vindaloo

Brinjal Fry

Today when I opened my refrigerator, all I could find was some capsicum and realized that it’s time again to refill it with fresh vegetables. Since I had to prepare something for the dinner and it was too late to go to market, I started thinking what I could make just using capsicum. Suddenly, I realized that I had bought some ready made paneer cubes couple of weeks ago which could be an excellent add-on to make a rich kadai paneer. Kadai Paneer is a typical Punjabi dish and it is normally prepared in a kadai. Adding capsicum and kasoori methi powder gives it a rich aroma and serves as a great combo with any type of Indian breads.
