Steps

40 minutes

1

Cut tomatoes into pieces and grind it into fine puree in a mixer jar.
2

For frying the paneer, take oil and butter in a pan and keep it on medium flame.
3

Cut green chillies into half and add to the pan, cut ginger into small pieces and add. Saute for about 30 seconds.
4

Add paneer cubes and shallow fry in both the sindes until they turn golden brown in color. Keep them aside.
5

In a pan (here I have taken metal pan to get the authentic taste) take oil and butter and keep it on medium flame.
6

Once the oil and butter heats up add cumin seeds.
7

Add finely chopped onions and saute until onions turn golden brown in color.
8

Once the onions turn into golden brown color, add finely chopped green chillies, ginger and garlic. Saute!
9

Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, kashmiri red chilli powder, coriander-cumin powder and salt as per taste. Saute until all the masalas are finely cooked and gives good fragrance.
10

As the masalas cook add water and let it heat for upto 2-4 minutes.
11

As the water comes to boil add earlier prepared tomato puree and let it cool for 3-4 minutes.
12

Add fresh green peas, mix well and cover it lid. Let it cool for about 8-10 minutes.
13

Cooking time may vary so check if your tomato puree is cooked properly. Add sauteed paneer and cook for 2 minutes
14

Do not cook for more time after adding paneer, your paneer will become chewy.
15

Serve hot with paratha or rice. Enjoy!!
