Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Curry Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomato puree and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Add Paneer and Figs

    Cut the paneer into cubes and add it to the skillet along with the chopped figs. Stir gently to coat the paneer and figs in the sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the paneer is heated through.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Fold in the caramelized onions and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with rice or naan.
