Steps:
- Toss scallions, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl to combine. Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a chef's knife, coarsely crush coriander seeds and add to vegetables along with cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, chile powder and turmeric; set aside.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Arrange paneer in a single layer in pan and cook until golden brown underneath, about 1 minute. (If paneer is sticking, just give cheese a little more time to brown. It will release from pan once it is sufficiently crisped.) Using a slotted spatula or spoon, transfer paneer to a plate, leaving as much oil behind in pan as possible. Turn browned side up and season generously with salt.
- Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to same skillet. Cook reserved scallion mixture, stirring often, until scallions are wilted and mustard seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, sugar snap peas, and 1 cup water to skillet and season with salt. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Gently smash each tomato open with a spatula (you just want to break them open a little) and simmer until tomato juices thicken slightly, about 3 minutes (it should still be pretty brothy and light). Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. If your tomatoes aren't super sweet, you may need to add a pinch of sugar at this point to balance their acidity. Add paneer back to pan and simmer until warmed through.
- Remove pan from heat and toss in mint. Serve with cooked rice.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12" skillet or wide heavy saucepan over medium-high. Add garlic, then tomatoes, pepper, sugar, and 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst and release their juices to form a sauce, 6-8 minutes.
- Toss pasta with tomato sauce and basil. Top with Parmesan.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead. Just be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the tomatoes by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they cook evenly.
- You can use any type of paneer for this recipe. However, if you can find fresh paneer, it will have the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the paneer in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to grease the skillet well so that the paneer doesn't stick.
- Serve the paneer with your favorite sides. Rice, quinoa, or naan bread are all great options.
Conclusion:
This paneer with burst cherry tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The paneer is tender and flavorful, and the tomato sauce is bursting with flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
