Method



  • First of all, in a pan add a tablespoon of butter and fry the paneer till it gets softened and has a colour like this👇👇.keep it aside
      
it gets chewy if it's fried for too long🤭😬😅



  • In the same pan add another tbsp of butter, bay leaf and cumin.
  • Also, add the green chillies and ginger paste and saute for a while    
  • Furthermore, add chopped onions and saute till it gets translucent.                   

  • Season it with red chilli powder, turmeric, cumin powder,garam masala, coriander powder and salt and mix it well                                                  


  • Now add the tomato puree, give it a good mix and cook it for about 10 mins           


  • Now add the cashew paste and the cream. You may adjust the consistency accordingly. (Don't worry if you have added too much water, the cashew paste will make it thick)                                   

  • Add the sugar and mix well
  • Now add the paneer and garnish with the chopped coriander and Kasuri methi and mix well              

  • Serve hot with roti or naan😋                        

As you guys may have noticed this recipe doesn't call for garlic, cloves or cardamom. It tastes great without these ingredients too
