• 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt

• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Cut the low-fat paneer into cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the onions, tomatoes, and green chili. Peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.

Add chopped onions and green chili. Sauté until onions are translucent.

Add ginger and garlic, sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until tomatoes are soft and oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 7

Lower the heat and add the yogurt gradually, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or chapati.
