INSTRUCTIONS:

Heat some oil in a stainless steel kadai and add all the spices. Cook until the raw smell disappears.
Next, add the tomato puree to our gravy followed by some water. Cover with lid and allow it took for some minutes until oil starts to separate.
Time for paneer to go in the gravy and garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.

PROCEDURE:

Coat 200g Paneer cubes in salt, turmeric, and red chilly powder. Fry them in 1tbsp oil on low flame for around 2 mins and keep aside.
In the new Avias Triply stainless steel frypan, heat 2 tbsp oil and add all the whole spices once heated: garlic cloves, cinnamon, and a half tbsp cumin seeds. As soon as they start spluttering add 2 finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. The pan is curated specifically with low oil consumption. Now add 1 chopped green chilly and ½ tbsp ginger-garlic paste and let it cook until the raw smell disappears.
Next, add ½ tbsp Kashmiri chili powder, ½ tbsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, and ½ tbsp cumin powder, and let it all mix on low flame. The Avias Triply frypan distributes heat evenly making your food cook faster. Isn’t that cool?
Moving on, make a puree of 2 tomatoes and add it to our gravy followed by some salt. Cover it with a lid and cook till oil separates. Add 2 tbsp whisked curd and mix well (Optional). Pour some water and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add the paneer cubes to this gravy along with 1 tbsp Kasuri Methi, ½ tbsp garam masala, and mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

You can savour it with hot rotis/ phulkas or even naan. At my place, we also like to eat paneer tikka gravy with jeera rice, tastes amazing. Adding some yoghurt/ curd is completely optional and depends on your taste buds but if you are someone who likes a little spicy food then the dish is perfect for you.
