Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Low-fat paneer
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 medium Tomato
- 1 small Green chili
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the low-fat paneer into cubes and set aside.
Chop the onions, tomatoes, and green chili. Peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
Add chopped onions and green chili. Sauté until onions are translucent.
Add ginger and garlic, sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until tomatoes are soft and oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Lower the heat and add the yogurt gradually, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.
Once the yogurt is well mixed, increase the heat to medium, and add the paneer cubes. Stir gently to coat the paneer with the spice mixture.
Pour in water to create a gravy. Stir and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Add garam masala and mix well. Remove from heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or chapati.
