Ingredients5-6 red ripe tomatoes for filling, 4-5 tomatoes for gravy, 200 gm paneer, 3 onions, Fine chopped green chilli and fresh coriander, Ginger and garlic cloves, 1 tsp each of cumin seeds, khas-khas, coconut powder and white sesame seeds, Half cashews and raisins soaked, Salt, red chilli powder, dhania powder, turmeric and garam masala, Fresh cream and curd.
How to makeTake whole red tomatoes and empty them from inside. Keep aside the tomato pulp and juice for making curry. To a big mixer, add diced tomatoes, onions, green chilli, ginger-garlic, cumin seeds, khas-khas, coconut powder, white sesame seeds, broken cashews and solid tomato pulp. Blend to achieve a rich thick paste with the goodness of all ingredients. Add oil to a heated kadhai and feed the paste to it. Cover with a lid and cook on high for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, grate paneer, and to it add freshly chopped coriander. Use salt, red chilli powder and garam masala for taste. Mix well.
Check on the gravy. If the water has dried, it has cooked. Add spices to suit your taste. With a hint of fresh cream and curd, the gravy will become suppler. Cover and let cook for another 5-10 minutes.
Take your tomatoes and start filling with paneer. Don't forget to hide some cashews and raisins inside! Add water to the gravy as much to keep it thick. Give it a boil. Now, add tomatoes and cover the pot. Shut off the gas after 5 minutes. Tease a tomato with the knife to see whether it has softened.
Season with grated paneer, dry fruits and coriander. Serve hot.
