Kadhai Paneer

Kadhai Paneer is a flavorful Paneer recipe made by cooking Paneer with the smoked bell peppers, which gives it a peculiar flavour.
I have added a twist to the original recipe. This one is a simple recipe with no ground spices, but instead adding all those ingredients directly during the seasoning.
Also I have cooked the bell peppers and onions on a high flame, for a couple of mins, to give it a smoky flavor and texture.
The read, yellow and green bell peppers make this colorful as well as flavorful.
