Method :

​

* Combine ginger root and 2 teaspoons water in blender or food processor to form paste. Set aside.

* Puree onion in blender or food processor with about 1 tablespoon water or just enough to form paste. Add more water if needed.

* Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion paste and fry until light golden, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and saute until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add ginger paste, 3 cups water and paneer. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 30 minutes.

* Add vinegar, marinara sauce and sugar, salt and cayenne to taste. (Dish should not be sweet, just mildly sweet and sour, and it is not very spicy.) Simmer 3 minutes. Add bell peppers and cook just until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes.

* Before serving, sprinkle with garam masala.

* This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
