Onion2, finely sliced
Tomato3, pureed
Green Chili2

Instructions

1
Slice the paneer thick enough to stay proud in the gravy; warm-soak and drain.
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 kasuri methi if using, then the drained paneer; fold gently — paneer breaks if bullied.
5
Rest off the heat, finish with the onion, and serve while it's glossy.

Chef's tip

Homemade paneer from full-fat milk is a revelation.
