When the onions become translucent, add ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies. Sauté for some seconds till the raw aroma of the ginger-garlic goes away.
4

Then add tomatoes and sauté on medium-low heat till they become soft. You can add a pinch of salt so that the tomatoes get cooked faster.

Then, add the crumbled paneer. Mix throughly and cook for 1 minute.
