Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Paneer

    Cut the paneer into cubes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onion and Spices

    In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger and garlic, cook for another 2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook until they soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Spices

    Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes, mixing well.
