Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep pan over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
2
Add the paneer cubes and fry until lightly golden on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the paneer and set aside.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
3
In the same pot, add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 7 min.
4
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and minced green chili, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
5
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are aromatic.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the spices don't burn by keeping the heat moderate.
6
Pour in the tomato puree and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7
Stir in the green peas and salt. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: If using frozen peas, there's no need to thaw them first.
8
Gently fold in the fried paneer cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes more, just until the paneer is heated through.
Aproximativ 3 min.
9
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if using, before serving.
Aproximativ 1 min.
