Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Cut paneer into pieces and smear 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, salt and 1/2 tsp red chilli powder all over the paneer pieces.
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter and grill the paneer pieces for 2-3 minutes on both sides, till both the sides are slightly done. Don’t grill for long; it will make the paneer pieces hard.
  3. In a pan heat butter, add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add ginger paste, chopped green chilli, onions, garlic, tomato and saute it well for 2-3 minutes till the onions and tomatoes are spongy.
  4. Let this mixture cool and then using a grinder, grind this into a fine paste. Don’t add any water.
  5. In the same pan, add this fine paste and saute well. To this mixture add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and saute the mixture for 3-4 minutes.
  6. On low heat, add the heavy whipping cream into gravy and mix it well. Add the grilled paneer pieces, dried fenugreek leaves and simmer the gravy for few minutes till oil starts to seperate.
  7. Take off heat and finally sprinkle freshly chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves on top. Serve with cauli rice.
Recipe Notes
  1. Always add cream at low temperature to the gravy.
  2. If you are using Paneer (cottage cheese) which is a little hard, make sure you dip the Paneer pieces in lukewarm water for a few minutes to make them soft.
