Instructions
Cut the paneer into cubes and set aside. If using frozen peas, thaw them before use.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chili.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add in the green peas and 1 cup of water. Stir and let the mixture come to a boil.
Lower the heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
