Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and cook until softened and golden, ~5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in ginger and cardamom pods. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add turmeric and stir to coat. Add yogurt in two batches, stirring between each to avoid lumps.

  4. Step 4

    Gently fold in paneer cubes. Simmer over medium-low for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is silky and paneer is warm.

  5. Step 5

    Crush kasuri methi between your fingers and stir through. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot in bowls with warm basmati rice or naan.
