paneer capsicum recipe | paneer capsicum curry masala | paneer gravy with step by step photo and video recipe. north indian cuisine is synonymous with rich and creamy paneer based curries or gravies. there are myriad variation within paneer curries which differs with spices and vegetables added to it. one such simple and easy curry is paneer capsicum curry masala, for day to day lunch and dinner.
i get a lot of request for lot of fancy and popular paneer curries. but i am disappointed that i did not get any request for this simple and easy paneer capsicum recipe. perhaps it is because, it lies in between of premium and inexpensive north indian curries. there is a perception that, preparing paneer and capsicum gravy requires a considerable amount of effort. yet yielding not so exorbitant curry. but with this post i want to clear the confusion once in for all. it is easy, less fancy and most economical paneer curries recipe. trust me this one of those curries which you can easily prepare on a day to basis. still you would not feel dull and uninteresting.
furthermore, some easy tips, suggestions and variations for the paneer capsicum recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using soft and moist, preferably homemade paneer for this recipe. you can use store bought one, but ensure it is fresh and moist before buying it. secondly, the recipe can be easily extended with a choice of vegetables to the same curry base. perhaps, you can add, green peas, broccoli, carrots, beans and even potatoes. lastly, the same recipe can be made as a dry variant without the gravy masala. this can be controlled by limiting the tomato and onion based sauce. i would release this version in near future.
