- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 large tomato, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoons garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoons ginger paste
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoons red chili powder
- 1/2 tablespoons coriander powder
- 1/4 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoons black pepper powder

Method
Step 1
Crumble the paneer and keep aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds to it. When seeds stop spluttering add ginger garlic paste and saute for a few seconds.
Step 3
Next, add the onion and cook till it becomes translucent. Add all the spices and salt, saute for a few seconds, stirring continuously to avoid burning of spices.
Step 4
Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies, mix everything and cook till tomatoes turn mushy.
Step 5
Once the tomatoes are done, add frozen peas. Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or till peas are cooked.
Step 6
Now, add paneer, mix and cover the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then switch off the gas. Overcooking the paneer will make it chewy so avoid doing that.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve with roti, paratha or any Indian bread of your choice.
