Step 1: Pan Fry the Paneer

• Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
• Gently add paneer cubes and pan-fry until lightly golden on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

• In the same pan, heat remaining ½ tablespoon oil.
• Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Cook Onions

• Add onions, and chili and sauté on medium-low heat until translucent and slightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4: Add Tomatoes and Spices

• Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and release their juices, approximately 4-5 minutes.
• Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 5: Combine Paneer with Masala

• Add the pan-fried paneer cubes to the tomato-onion mixture.
• Gently stir to coat paneer evenly with the masala. Simmer on low heat for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6: Finish and Garnish

• Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander and thinly sliced spring onions.
• Remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let rest for 5 minutes.
