Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and cook until softened and golden, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in ginger and cardamom pods. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add turmeric and stir to coat. Add yogurt in two batches, stirring between each to avoid lumps.
Step 4
Gently fold in paneer cubes. Simmer over medium-low for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is silky and paneer is warm.
Step 5
Crush kasuri methi between your fingers and stir through. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
Step 6
Serve hot in bowls with warm basmati rice or naan.
