Ingredients
- 200 grams Paneer
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 200 grams Canned tomato puree
- 200 milliliters Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Cut the paneer into medium-sized cubes and set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the paneer cubes and fry until they become golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the remaining coconut oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the canned tomato puree and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raw tomato smell dissipates.
Step 6
Add garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine the spices evenly.
Step 7
Lower the heat and add the coconut cream to the pan. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Gently fold in the fried paneer cubes, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes so they absorb the flavors.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and stir in lemon juice for a touch of acidity.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot with your choice of paleo-friendly sides like cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
