Instructions
Cut the paneer into cubes and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add paneer cubes and sauté until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove paneer from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining ghee. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Pour the tomato puree into the pan, stir well, and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the oil separates.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add water, stir well, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once the gravy starts to thicken, add the sautéed paneer and salt. Stir gently to coat the paneer with the gravy.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving and enjoy your Keto Paneer Gravy with cauliflower rice or any keto-friendly bread.
