Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Paneer
- 150 grams Baby corn
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 medium, finely chopped Tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the paneer into cubes and set aside. Slice the baby corn into bite-sized pieces.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly sauté the paneer pieces until they are golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add another teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chili, stirring for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Cook for a minute while stirring.
Add the sliced baby corn to the pan and mix well.
Pour in the water and cover the pan with a lid. Let it simmer for 10-12 minutes to allow the baby corn to cook through.
Once the baby corn is cooked, lower the heat and add in the low-fat milk, stirring continuously to blend it into the gravy.
Return the sautéed paneer cubes to the pan and gently stir to combine everything.
Sprinkle garam masala over the top, mix, and let the gravy simmer for another 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.
Adjust seasoning as desired and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
