Later add chopped tomatoes and stir well until tomatoes are half cooked followed by cashews. Here, add turmeric and chilly powder Mix well and close the pan lid for 5 mins. Switch off the stove. Let this mixture cool and make a smooth paste in a grinder
4

In the same pan, take a bit of oil and add chopped capsicum or bell pepper. Stir well until they are soft. Close the pan lid for 3 mins. Add this paste and mix well. Add a glass of water and mix again.

Now, to the curry add a teaspoon of jeera powder and coriander powder and a tablespoon of garam masala powder. Check salt for taste. Close the pan lid. Let it boil for 7-10 mins until gravy thickens and paneer is coated well in the curry. Switch off the stove. Add chopped coriander on it and close the lid for another ten mins.
