Steps

1 hour

1

Cut the paneer into cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet and lightly fry the paneer cubes. Remove and set aside in a bowl.
2

Make a paste of onion, ginger, and garlic. Finely chop the green chilies. Cut the potatoes into cubes as well.
3

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon cumin seeds and dried red chilies, then add the potatoes and fry. Once the potatoes are lightly fried, add the onion-ginger-garlic paste and mix well.
4

Add turmeric, coriander-cumin powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Mix well and cook on low heat. Add the frozen peas and mix thoroughly.
5

After 4-5 minutes, when the spices are cooked, add 1 1/2 cups water (about 350 ml), cover, and cook on low heat. Stir occasionally and check if the vegetables are cooked.
6

Once the peas and potatoes are cooked, add the paneer and 1/2 cup water (about 120 ml). Cook until slightly saucy. Remove from heat, add 1 tablespoon butter on top, and mix.
