2. !!Making Paneer Khurchan:
3. To the same pan, add cumin seeds, bay leaf, black cardamom, star anise, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and black peppercorns. Sauté them for a few seconds or until they turn crisp and aromatic.
4. Now, add sliced onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes. After that add 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste or freshly minced ginger-garlic. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Now add sliced tomatoes, bell peppers and mix well. Now add green chilies and ginger juliennes. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
