Method:
  • Cut the paneer into small cubes and fry slightly till golden colour. However this frying step is optional
  • Sauté the tomatoes, onions, green chilly and cashew nuts together in a pan with little oil for 4-5 mins or till they softens and all the raw smell vanishes

  • Blend these ingredients to a fine purée
  • Take some butter in the same pan , add ginger garlic paste, add the paprika powder, saute for just 30 sec n add in the puree. Cover and cook for some time(about 15 mins) till all the raw smell disappears


  • after 15-20 mins add honey, kasoori methi powder, salt and cardamom powder


  • Add the paneer cubes, cover and cook for 5 more mins
  • lastly add the garam masala, stir and finally top up with some fresh cream
  • Serve with chapati or rice

Note:
  • Its better to fry the paneer before adding into the gravy if its not fresh.
  • Store brought tomato puree could also be used instead of fresh ones. in this case it could be directly added without sautéing and grinding
  • Slightly roast the kasoori methi in a shallow pan, add by rubbing it between both the palms

   preparation and cooking time: 30 mins
