Ingredients
- 250 g paneer cubed
- 2 onions finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1- inch ginger grated
- 150 g yoghurt
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 2 tbsp oil
- salt to taste
- Coriander for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth and set it aside.
- Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, red chilli powder, and salt. Stir well for 2-3 minutes until the spices are well combined.
- Add the whisked yogurt to the spice mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the oil separates from the yogurt. This may take around 5-7 minutes.
- Gently add the cubed paneer to the yogurt and spice mixture. Stir carefully to coat the paneer with the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the paneer to absorb the flavours.
- Sprinkle garam masala over the Nawaabi Paneer and give it a final stir.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with naan or steamed rice.
