Method 1.  Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the cubed paneer till they turn light gold in color. Drain them on a paper towel and place them in a bowl with lukewarm water.       2.  Now in the same pan which is on low to medium heat, add fenugreek leaves and stir. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. 3.  Add ginger garlic paste and stir for a minute. Add the dry powders one by one and fry for not more than a minute. 4.  Add chopped red and green capsicum and fry for 3-4 minutes. Add tomato paste, salt and sugar and fry again for 3-4 minutes more.   5.  The mixture tends to become thick. Add ¼ cup of water and stir well. Now add well beaten curd and mix. Cook for a minute.   6.  Add the fried paneer and cook on low for 3-4 minutes. Put off the stove. 7.  Garnish with coriander leaves and serve. Note: In general, fresh cream is used in place of curd and paneer is usually deep fried instead of shallow frying. The fried paneer is placed in lukewarm water so that it still stays soft after frying.
