Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups paneer cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 onions, diced
1 tablespoon cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander
5 tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon garlic paste
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 cup water
2 cups peas, defrosted
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet and pan-fry paneer cheese until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and coriander; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, ginger, garlic paste, red pepper flakes, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Carefully pour about 3/4 of the mixture into a blender. Cover the top of the blender with a kitchen towel and blend until smooth. Pour back into the skillet. Add water, peas, and paneer. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.

I had some trouble finding paneer, but I used tofu instead and it turned out great!

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually add a little bit of garam masala to give it a bit more flavor.

This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly and it turned out perfectly. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the peas and paneer were cooked just right.

This dish was very easy to make and the end result was delicious! I especially liked the creamy texture of the sauce with the tender peas and paneer. I would definitely make this again.
