Paneer Balls & Sauce


  1. First get the paneer balls ready. Add paneer, onion, parsley, breadcrumbs and rest of the seasoning. It's time to get your hands in and mix the ingredients really well.
  2. Roll the paneer mixture to equal sized balls. You can do this prep way before dinnertime as well. Just make the paneer balls and put them in the freezer.
  3. When you're ready to fry the paneer balls, take a non-stick frying pan and put it on the gas on medium. Add the oil and as the oil heats up.  Now, pop the paneer balls one by one and fry them till they are brown. The paneer balls will brown better if spaced out a bit, so be patient with this!
  4. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the oil on a flat heavy-bottomed pan. Add the minced garlic and bring it to a sizzle. Stir in the onion and let them caramelise.  
  5. Stir in the tomatoes and add the salt. Cook it till the tomatoes soften up. Then add the canned puree. Add  water and bring it to a boil.
  6. Now add the paneer balls to the sauce and cover the pan with a lid. Let the paneer balls cook in the sauce, on a simmer, for 15 minutes.
  7. After 15 minutes, open the lid and check for the sauce consistency. It should be thick enough to stick to the paneer balls.
  8. Add the parsley and the grated cheese on top before removing the pan from the fire.
  9. The paneer balls are ready to be served.


For Noodles:

  1. Boil water in a pan. Once the water starts boiling, pop the Noodles into the water and cook it according to the package directions; drain and return it to the pot. Add a teaspoon on oil and mix well, this way the spaghetti/Noodles won't stick together.
  2. In a large skillet, add oil and toss the vegetables till they are roasted.
  3. Now, add the spaghetti bit by bit while adding salt to it  so that the salt is evenly spread. Mix the vegetables well with the spaghetti. Take it off the gas.
  4. Garnish with the grated cheese.
  5. Drizzle the spaghetti Paneer balls, before serving.
