- Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)

## Tools

## Method 👨🏻‍🍳

1. **Prepare the Paneer:**

- Set aside.

2. **Make the Base:**
- Heat oil and butter in a skillet.
- Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
- Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook until aromatic.

3. **Add Spices and Tomatoes:**
- Mix in turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder.
- Add tomato puree and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.

4. **Create the Gravy:**
- Stir in cashew paste and cook for a minute.
- Add water, salt, and sugar, stirring well.
- Bring to a gentle simmer.

5. **Incorporate the Paneer:**
- Add paneer cubes and mix gently.
- Let it cook for 5 minutes.

6. **Finish with Cream:**
- Stir in fresh cream and garam masala.
- Simmer for 2 minutes and turn off the heat.

7. **Garnish and Serve:**
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice. 😋

## Tips ✅

- Silky smooth gravy is what makes this dish classic. So blend the cooked onion tomato mixture to a very smooth puree.
- Adjust the chili and spices based on your heat tolerance.
