Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 1 cup Green peas
- 1 large Onion
- 2 medium Tomato
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 unit Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients: finely chop the onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chili.
Cut the paneer into cubes and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the ginger, garlic, and green chili and sauté for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and start to break down, about 5 minutes.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for 1-2 more minutes to let the spices incorporate.
Add the green peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gently add the paneer cubes and pour in the water. Mix everything carefully and bring to a simmer.
Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the paneer to absorb the flavors.
Add garam masala and stir everything lightly. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with chapati, naan, or steamed rice.
