Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Paneer
- 50 g Butter
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 200 ml Tomato puree
- 1 tsp Garam masala
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Red chili powder
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 1 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tsp Fenugreek leaves (Kasuri Methi)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Green chili
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the tomato puree to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the oil begins to separate from the puree.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and salt, stirring to combine well with the spices and tomato puree.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the paneer cubes, stirring to coat them in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 10-12 minutes, allowing the paneer to absorb the flavors.
Crush the fenugreek leaves between your palms and sprinkle over the mixture.
Slice the green chili and add to the dish for added heat, adjusting according to taste.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving hot with cauliflower rice or keto-friendly naan.
