Ingredients:

  • 20 oz panir (cubed)
  • 2 tbsp oil or 2 tbsp ghee
  • 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seed
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 3 -4 garlic cloves
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 cup water (or as needed)
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions:

  1. Heat oil and fry paneer cubes till they turn golden brown. Set aside.
  2. In a separate pot, heat oil (or ghee) and mustard and cumin seeds, until they turn color and sputter.
  3. Add chopped onions, ginger and garlic and cook until onions soften.
  4. Add tomato, salt, sugar, and cook till the tomatoes soften.
  5. Then add garam masala, chilli powder, turmeric powder coriander powder and cumin powder.
  6. Add the water and stir it in, using your discretion depending on how dry the dish is. If you added too much water, just let it simmer away until much of it evaporates - you want your tomatoes soft anyway.
  7. Add the peas.
  8. Cook just until the peas are tender.
  9. Pour in the cream, mix, and add the paneer and let simmer on medium heat for the paneer to absorb the flavors.
  10. Garnish with cilantro.
