For the Marination :

Take your thick yogurt and transfer it to a muslin cloth, keep aside for 20 minutes, so all the water is removed from it. Mix the curd with masala powders, kasoori methi, lemon juice and salt. Then add paneer to the yogurt mix and marinate for an hour.

How To Proceed

In a deep pan heat water and bring it to a boil.
Add pasta, salt and let cook for 8 minutes or as directed in the packet , until it is fully cooked (soft but firm).
Drain the water.. drizzle some olive oil and mix them so that pasta (macroni) don’t stick with each other and keep aside.

In a pan heat a some oil and shallow fry the marinated paneer till the outer layer is golden brown . Fry them and keep them on a tissue paper so that excess oil gets drained off.

In a separate pan heat oil.Saute the capsicum till its half cooked (don’t over cook the capsicum).
Next add the ginger garlic paste, tomato puree, chilli flakes, chilly powder/chilly sauce, salt,ga and oregano to it . saute till the mixture is cooked.

Then add the fried paneer and cooked pasta and mix well..

Toss everything together and sprinkle some grated cheese , garnish with coriander leaves.

Tips

If you wish u can marinate the capsicum ,shallow fry them and include them in the recipe but i marinated only the paneer.
You can even use tofu paneer ..and include other veggies like carrot , beans , peas etc..
