• 1 cup Tomato puree
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder

Step 1

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

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, around 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

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