Paneer or cottage cheese cooked in rich creamy tomato gravy and loads of butter is a mouth watering royal feast. Surely its going to add a lots of calories but believe me its worth having this dish. So here goes the list of ingredients.

400 gms of paneer

2-3 large tomatoes

1 tbsp Ginge garlic paste

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp coriander powder

2 tbsp butter

3 tbsp cream

2 tsp sugar

Salt to taste

½ cup water

Freshly chopped coriander for garnishing

Method:

Cut paneer in small triangular pieces and keep aside

Blanche tomatoes, peel them and blend to a fine paste.

Melt butter in a pan and add onion, ginger garlic pate and sauté till golden brown. Now add tomato paste and sauté for another 3 to 4 min. add cumin, coriander, chili, and turmeric powder and garam masala and mix well.

Then add paneer, cream, salt, sugar and stir well, now cover the lead and cook for 8 -10 min so all the spices will get absorbed in paneer. Now add water to adjust the consistency of gravy and simmer for another 5 min.
