Its holiday season and mom's will have hardtime making different tiffin items for their kids. This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also can be used as a base for a variety of dishes like,

Stuffed dosa

Stuffed idly

Pizza, and so on.

Paneer - 200 gm (grated)

Onion - 3 (sliced)

Tomato - 3 (chopped)

Ginger-Garlic paste - 2 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Sambar powder - 1 tsp

Pav bhaji masala - 2 tsp

Salt - To taste

Lemon juice - 1 tsp (optional)

Fresh coriander leaves - To garnish (chopped)

Oil / Butter - 2-3 tbsp

METHOD:

1. Heat oil/butter in a pan and saute onions until translucent.

2. Add ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute.

3. Now add tomato, salt and all the masala powders. Saute well. Cover with lid and keep in low flame. Let it cook until the oil ooze out. 

4. Add paneer, coriander leaf and mix well.
