Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves 4 to 5

Ingredients:

• Cottage cheese made from 1 litre milk approx. 200 gms diced
• 2 large green bell peppers chopped into 1 inch slices
• 4 ripe tomatoes chopped finely
• 1 tsp ginger minced
• 1 tsp garlic minced
• 3 dried red chilies
• 1 tbsp coriander seeds
• salt as per taste
• 2-3 green chilies chopped finely
• 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
• 1 tsp kasuri methi powder
• 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves 
• Onion rings from 1 onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter

Heat the oil and butter in a wok and add the ginger-garlic mince. Fry it for like half a minute and add the tomatoes. Meanwhile pound the coriander seeds and the red chilies together to make a coarse powder. You can even use a grinder for this purpose. To make the pounding easier you can dry roast the seeds and chilies first.

Cook the tomatoes for 2-3 minutes and add the pounded powder. Mix well, add the green chilies and cook till the mixture comes together and oil separates. Now add the bell peppers. Let them cook for another 10 minutes. Add the salt and garam masala. Cook for another minute and add the cheese.

Mix well and cook it for another 4-5 minutes. Lastly sprinkle the kasuri methi and stir.

Garnish with coriander leaves and onion rings. Serve hot with rotis or paranthas. Enjoy!!!
