1 tsp cumin & coriander powder
salt as per taste
Handful of finely chopped cilantro for garnish

In a non stick pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil, temper cumin & mustard seeds, add garlic, ginger, green chillies, onions & saute till onions become transparent. Add tomatoes, saute till they are cooked. Add turmeric powder, cumin & coriander powder, pav bhaji masala powder & salt as per taste. Add the capsicum & paneer & let it cook for 10 mins. Keep it covered. Add chopped cilantro for garnish. Sprinkle fat free cheese & oregano on top.
Serve this with an Indian bread called roti or naan.
