Instructions

1
Cube the paneer and keep it in warm water while the masala builds — this keeps it tender.
2
Soften the onions slowly — paneer gravies reward gentle beginnings.
3
Add tomato and the ground spices; cook till the masala thickens and the oil separates at the edges.
4
Add the red chili powder, then the paneer, and turn it through the masala with a flat hand.
5
Two minutes of simmering, a swirl of cream, a crush of kasuri methi, done.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
