2. add chopped tomatoes, salt for frying and turmeric powder. mix well.
3. close and cook for 5-8 mins until tomatoes are mushy. you can also leaves it open and keep stirring until mushy. closing makes the process quicker. open and add cumin powder and coriander powder.
4. this is something new addition in my attempt. soak the kashmiri red chillies in hot water for 10 minutes and make it a paste. I used around 8-10 kashmiri red chillies. mix well until well blended with the onion tomato mixture.
5. close again and cook for few minutes until the oil leaves out from the masala. also the raw smell of chilli paste has to be gone. you can stir in between if needed.
6. now add garam masala and crushed kasuri methi.
7. together add grated paneer and cooked corn. for cooking corn – boil water in a sauce pan and add washed and clean corn with little salt. dont cook until mushy. it has to be half cooked.
8. this is also an important try in my recipe. I would recommend you to try this. grind together cashews and mixed seeds. you get the pack of mixed seeds especially to make curries. grind it with few tsp of hot water to a super fine paste.
