2 cups finely diced tomatoes

1 cup diced ( 2” large pieces) cabbage

1 cup diced bell pepper 2” squares 

1 cup diced carrots (1” cubes)

1.5 cups of paneer 1.5” cubes

Procedure 

In a heavy bottom pan, heat the oil. Add the ginger and green chillies, sauté until soft. Add the tomatoes, salt, chili powder, amchur, and turmeric. Stir it in well. Let it sweat well.  Add the carrots. Carrots take longer to cook than bell pepper and cabbage.  Let the carrots cook for about 3-4 minutes before you add in the other vegetables!  Add the tomato paste, ketchup and vinegar! Cook with lid closed for about 4 minutes!  Stir in the paneer  and cilantro and cook for another 3 minutes with the lid closed.
