How to make Jain Style Paneer Makhani Recipe
To begin making the Jain Style Paneer Makhani, we will start by heating the ghee in a heavy bottomed saute pan on medium heat. Add in the bell pepper and green chilli. Sauté them well until they turn translucent. Once done, allow them to cool down and blend it in a mixer using a little water to form a smooth paste.
Next, heat another tablespoon of ghee in the same pan over medium, add in the tomato puree and sauté for 2 - 3 minutes. When cooked sufficiently, mix in the bell pepper paste, sugar, salt, garam masala, peas and red chilli powder. Cook well till the raw smell disappears.
