Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Soak the paneer block in warm water if using frozen paneer. You can skip this step if using fresh paneer.

  • Place a cooking pot on medium heat and add olive oil.

  • Add onions and ginger-garlic paste and sauté till the onions they are translucent.

  • Add all the spices and stir them with the onions for a further minute. Add a couple of tablespoons of water so the spices do not stick to the pan.
