Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wide skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add minced onion and cook, stirring, until soft and just beginning to turn golden, 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in ginger-garlic paste and turmeric powder, cooking until fragrant, about 45 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in cream and add 0.25 cup water. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Gently fold in paneer cubes and simmer for 6 minutes until sauce thickens and paneer absorbs flavors.
