Ingredients:

1     tablespoon    minced ginger root
3     cups          water
2     tablespoons   water
1                   onion
3     tablespoons   oil
2                   tomatoes
2     pounds        paneer (Indian cheese)
2     tablespoons   balsamic vinegar
2     tablespoons   bottled marinara sauce
                    Sugar
                    Salt
                    Cayenne pepper
3                   green bell peppers
                    as the paneer
1/2   teaspoon      garam masala

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Combine ginger root and 2 teaspoons water in blender or food processor to form paste. Set aside.
Puree onion in blender or food processor with about 1 tablespoon water or just enough to form paste. Add more water if needed.
Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion paste and fry until light golden, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and saute until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add ginger paste, 3 cups water and paneer. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 30 minutes.
Add vinegar, marinara sauce and sugar, salt and cayenne to taste. (Dish should not be sweet, just mildly sweet and sour, and it is not very spicy.) Simmer 3 minutes. Add bell peppers and cook just until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle with garam masala.
