- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste

Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes and green chili; cook until the tomatoes turn soft and oil starts to separate from the masala.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well, cooking for about 2 minutes.
Pour in 1/2 cup of water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Gently add the paneer cubes into the pan, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
