Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Low-fat paneer
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and tomatoes. Set them aside separately.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw smell dissipates.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until soft and pulpy, about 5 minutes.
Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes until the spices are well-roasted.
Pour in the low-fat yogurt, stirring constantly to integrate it smoothly with the spices and avoid curdling.
Add water to the pan and stir well to combine everything into a smooth gravy. Bring it to a gentle boil.
Gently tip in the paneer cubes, stirring to coat them well with the gravy.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the paneer to absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and stir gently.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with steamed rice or whole wheat roti.
