The paneer looks like tofu .

Anyways, it looks delicious :3

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mandoniqquh : Looks same but tastes very different :)

My wife wants to know why my waistline is increasing. I tild her to call Hetal and Auja

[jeromegipson]

Since I'm a guy, knowing nothing about cooking, would it be to much to ask for a dinner invitation, so I can try what looks like a labor of love? Thanks for sharing, Jerome

[strengthofwill]

when you said that you could cut the paneer any way you wanted it reminded me of my classmate who cooks! She asked to borrow my miniature japanese rice cake shapers (kind of like cookie cutters) and the next day she had made a paneer gravy dish cut into the shape of sakura flowers! =D

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@strengthofwill : how cute!

The tanginess comes from the tomatoes...no need to add lemon.

[malkien12]

whats paneer?

in persian it means cheese..but that doesnt look like cheese

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Paneer is a type of cheese that can be made at home. It is really amazing and the best part is that it does not melt on heating.

You can check out our channel page for the recipe of by it at an Indian/South Asian grocery store.

i find me indian woman so i wont haft to cook hehe thanks it was messie for me to clean up but i always make mess but it was great , thanks , indian women r so beautiful hehe

[puffinstuffsmum]

The girls are right; the combination of spices they use is called panch phoron in bengali and it IS a fantastic flavour. You can buy packets of panch phoron so you dont have to buy the 5 individual spices and its cheaper! It really is a fantastic combination, please do try it!

[shahnawaz44in]

Hello Hetal and Anuja, i m shAan from OZ. just want to say thank you so much for sharing such great dishes. it is really easy to cook after watching your videos. Thanks again.

[VistaMay12]

Indian Food is the BEST thanks:)

[shirshen12]

Hi Hetal and Anuja!!! Great recipe for tangy paneer and I must say that I got bored eating jus mutter paneer and all that...

By the way, the 5 spices that u added to the dish at the start.... is called in bengali(I am from west bengal) as "PAANCH FORONG" ... its actually mixed in some fixed proportions... and the mixture is kept in containers as a normal spice .... so u dont need to separately mix it everytime and u get the proportion right every time... Neways, Thanks for Tangy paneer!!!

[elwoodetubes]

I cant get paneer where i live, any substiute?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can make it at home. Look for our video on "Homemade Paneer".

[savvy811]

OR you can use extra firm tofu. Doesn't taste the same, but if you can't make it home and/or you don't get it where you live, this is a substitute.

[karmajunkie108]

very nice production and explanation of recipes

you need your own TV show!

best of luck from this Gora!

[brainjesus]

I just realized that I never cook with more than three ingredients...but I love indian food because it offers so many vegetarian options.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

It's funny, most people think that if you're vegetarian, you must live on salads all day. You're right, vegetarian Indian food is so delicious that you never miss the meat!

One quick trip to your local Indian grocery store and you'll be on your way to making this yummy food at home. If you get a chance, check out our video "Stocking the Pantry for Indian Cooking 101" - 2 parts.

hi

i really like this recipe and it has got me hungry by just looking at it.. i was just wondering about the peppers at the end and the paneer pieces.

1 - don't the paneer remain a bit raw because you didnt fry them before you added them.

2 - i know you said about the peppers being crunchy but how long would you have to cook them for so they don't feel like they are undercooked

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Paneer is made from boiled milk, so it really doesn't need to be cooked further. The biggest reason for frying paneer is to keep it from falling apart. With this recipe, we found that "raw" paneer soaked up more of the tomato and spices and the end result was flavor that went all the way through - not just on the coating. If you feel you need to fry it, then that's perfectly ok, too.

The peppers should cook for about 3-4 minutes - just enough to get the raw taste out, but not be mushy.

[ninjaquamar]

is this a good meal for a American,Vegetarian new comer

[ShowMeTheCurry]

It's actually a very good meal combined with some chapati or rice. It does not have some of the "hard core" spices present in most Indian cuisine so it may be a good first start. :)

[ninjaquamar]

thank you and also is this meal very fating because all that cheese make it look that way.sorry if i am wrong

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Yes, unfortunately, as with any cheese, it does have quite a bit of fat content. It is a good occasional eat -- it is delicious!!

[dudeshotzz]

hey i was just wondering if u can use tomato paste instead of diced or sliced tomatoes??

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can use Tomato paste but it will not have the texture and will be a smooth gravy and the taste will be a little different but definately do-able:-)

[girlfromq8]

Great !!

;D

[iloveleointhe90s]

YUM

[nimogirl1981]

I am a beginner - and I have to say I luv this recipe. thanks x

[priysam]

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Thanks for your feedback. Our recipes are for anyone who wants to try a simple Indian dish and many of our viewers are beginner cooks (Indians included).

[LeoHareMusic]

And we are in a competition, are we not?

[cudbwrse]

What do mean by that? Not spicy enough?

[fantaztika]

What type of pan are you using? Thanks

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We are using a non-stick wok style pan which has a cover.

[cyberninja17]

I'd put onions along with the bell peppers

[jananiak]

great dish..I dont like paneer that much & cholestrol & all..I'l try this dish with tofu..But i have to saute tofu seperate to get all the water out..

[liveinmymusic]

you guys must be a couple right?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

A couple of friends!

[animemab]

Yeah there a couple, a couple of good cooks that is!

[Diva63113]

Another great video..I love how you make your recipes very easy to follow. It has made me Add a little spice to my life. Now for my question. How is this served as a main course in a vegetairn meal or as a side dish, and what were the other two dishes to serve this with?

Diva

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Thanks! Usually, Indian meals consist of a bread, a vegetable, a daal and rice. Tangy paneer would be appropriate as the vegetable. For a complete meal, try Varan (daal), Tandoori Roti (bread) and plain Basmati Rice. This is just a suggestion. You can make any combination.

[leeta2001]

your new fridge looks great !can't help but notice it ..hahahh

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Thanks!!
