Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Add ginger-garlic paste and sliced green chilies, sauté 60 seconds until fragrant.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in yogurt and turmeric powder until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add paneer cubes to the sauce. Simmer gently for 8 minutes without stirring aggressively—paneer will soften and sauce will coat.

  4. Step 4

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm naan in a dry skillet or over a flame until pliable, about 90 seconds per side.

  5. Step 5

    Divide jeera rice and paneer curry between two plates. Serve with warm naan, sliced onions, tomato slices, and lime wedges on the side.

Tools you’ll need
