Instructions
Cut the paneer into cubes and set aside.
In a blender, blend the low-fat yogurt and skim milk together until smooth. Set aside.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Saute for a minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped onions and saute until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger garlic paste, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the blended yogurt and milk mixture. Mix well and let it simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the paneer cubes, slit green chilies, and garam masala. Stir gently to coat the paneer with the gravy.
Cover and let it simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat so the flavors blend well.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with rice or naan for a delicious meal.
