Tips:

1. I used store bought paneer, so had to grate it. If using homemade u can use it without setting the paneer, which will be in a scrambled form.
2. U can add tomato or lemon juice for a tangy flavour.
3. I used green, red & yellow capsicum. U can use available ones.
4. Do not overcook after adding scrambled paneer else it will get hard.
5. You can add 1/4 tsp of garam masala powder for an extra zing.
