Kadai Paneer

Kadai paneer is a colorful and a popular dish in Indian and Punjabi cuisine. It has a spicy gravy made with onions, tomatoes and cashews. I have made the gravy version. 
Traditionally its made with green capsicums, I have used red and yellow to bring out the colors.The addition of the fresh ground chili and dania brings great taste and flavor to the recipe. You would really fall in love with this recipe.
