Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup vegetable oil
½ pound paneer, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon ground cashews
1 teaspoon ground red chiles
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon garam masala
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup half-and-half
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry paneer in 2 batches until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer fried paneer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, retaining vegetable oil in skillet.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add ginger paste and garlic paste. Continue to cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir cashews, ground red chiles, cumin, coriander, and garam masala into onion mixture. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
  • Stir tomato sauce, half-and-half, milk, sugar, and salt into spice mixture; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add fried paneer and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes more.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The sauce is so rich and flavorful, and the paneer is always cooked perfectly. I love serving it with basmati rice and naan bread.
