Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Add ginger-garlic paste and sliced green chilies, sauté 60 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2
Stir in yogurt and turmeric powder until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add paneer cubes to the sauce. Simmer gently for 8 minutes without stirring aggressively—paneer will soften and sauce will coat.
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.
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.
