Ingredients

• 250 grams Low-fat paneer
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 1 large Onion
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt
• 1 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and tomatoes. Set them aside separately.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw smell dissipates.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until soft and pulpy, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes until the spices are well-roasted.

Step 9

Pour in the low-fat yogurt, stirring constantly to integrate it smoothly with the spices and avoid curdling.

Step 10

Add water to the pan and stir well to combine everything into a smooth gravy. Bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 11

Gently tip in the paneer cubes, stirring to coat them well with the gravy.

Step 12

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the paneer to absorb the flavors.

Step 13

Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and stir gently.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Step 15

Serve hot with steamed rice or whole wheat roti.
