Cooking Method
Marination and Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, a pinch of salt, and half of the Suhana mix. Add the paneer cubes and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the paneer from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Cook the paneer until it's golden brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer the paneer to a plate and set aside.
Cooking the Masala
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and caramelized, about 8 minutes.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Add the remaining Suhana mix to the skillet, stir well, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
Add about 200ml of water to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked paneer back into the skillet, stirring gently to coat with the masala sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the paneer is well coated and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
