Paneer-Mango Masala

Come summer and I get reminded of the great Indian Mango. This year will be the second summer in a row that I will have missed a yummy bite of the Alphonso. I will make do with the mongo pulp from the Indian store or other fresh Mangoes that come from other parts of the world. For those of you who have a wider choice pick your favourite mango and add a special flavour to this Paneer Mango Masala!

You need:

Grated paneer

Rings of 1 onion

1 tablespoon of ripe Mango slices

Brocolli

2 tsps of Sambhar masala

Turmeric

1 Garam masala

Slices of ginger

Powdered garlic

1 ½ cup whey/ water

1 tablespoon Tomato puree

Refer to my blog on "Homemade Paneer-Indian Cheese" to learn how to make Paneer at home. If you are in a hurry then you could buy Paneer from a store.

Get your ingredients ready and get started. Heat oil in a nonstick pan. Saute the onions well till soft.

Add in turmeric, ginger, garlic, sambhar and garam masalas and tomato puree. Mix well and add in the brocolli. Cook covered on medium flame with a little water so the brocolli is soft.

After about 3 to 4 minutes add the mango slices and paneer. Saute well and cook for few more minutes. If you like the masala to be a little wet then add in water. You might need to cook for about 5 more minutes before you turn off the flame.

You could serve this with dosa, roti or use it as a stuffing for puffs.
