Microwave Aloo Paneer Masala

Recently i learned from one of my friend, how to cook potatoes in microwave very easily, she just prepared potatoes very prefectly as we cook steamed potatoes in vessels r in pressure cookers..her's easy method of preparing potatoes through microwave made me to try this masala in microwave, they really turned out awesome, we had this masala with grilled bread toast with thai cucumber salad sterday for dinner, needless to say how delicious they r..i added grated paneer to this masala, which made the masala more delicious , as i prepared them in microwave n also with paneer, do i need to say that this amazing masala dish goes to MEC - Paneer guest hosted by Rak's Kitchen, event started by Srivalli , also am sending to FIC - Yellow event by Sunshinemom of Tongueticklers...


2nos Potatoes
1/2cup Grated Paneer
1no Onion chopped
1tsp Green chilli pieces
1/4tsp Ginger pieces
1/4tsp Turmeric powder
1/2tsp Mustard seeds+cumin seeds
1tsp Coriander leaves chopped
Salt
1tsp Oil

Wash thoroughly the potatoes n cut them as small medium pieces, put them in ziplock bags, makes small holes on the ziplock bags r punch them with sharp knife n cook them in high temperature for 5 minutes...at this time they will get well cooked, remove the skin n mash them slightly..take a microwave bowl, add the oil , mustard seeds with cumin seeds n fry them in high temperature for 2 minutes, add the chopped onion, ginger pieces with salt n turmeric powder again for 4minutes...now add the cooked potatoes, grated paneer, chopped chilly pieces n mix everything well , keep again for 10 minutes in medium temperature.. garnish the masala with chopped coriander leaves..

Serve them hot with grilled breads, also as side dish for pooris n rotis...
