Cooking time :

20 minutes

250 gm

paneer, cut into medium cubes

3 tbsp

mustard seed

1 tbsp

poppy seed

1/2 cup

yogurt, whisked

1/2 tsp

turmeric powder

green chillies (3 roughly cut and 3 slitted)

2 tbsp

mustard oil

1/2 cup

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak mustard seed and poppy seed in little water for 15 minutes and make a fine paste by adding 3 roughly cut green chillies. Keep the paste aside.

* Step 2

Take a steel container (something dabba type) with a tight lid. If you don’t have one, you can cover any steel vessel with aluminium foil.

* Step 3

In the vessel, mix the mustard-poppy paste with yogurt, turmeric powder, salt and mustard oil. If you find the mixture very thick, you can add some water. Remember, adding water is completely optional.

* Step 4

Add paneer to the mixture and give a proper mix. Cover the lid (or with aluminium foil) and marinate for 30 minutes.

* Step 5

Heat 1-1.5 cup water in a steamer and put the closed steel vessel directly in it. On medium flame, steam for 20 minutes. Don’t overcook, else the paneer will turn rubbery.
