Cooking Method
Marinating the Paneer
Cut the Royal Mahout Paneer Cheese into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garam masala powder, cumin powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
Pour the marinade over the paneer cubes and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
Making the Masala
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're lightly browned and caramelized (about 8-10 minutes).
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, garam masala powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes start to break down.
Add the tomato puree and low-fat coconut milk. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Assembling and Serving
Remove the marinated paneer cubes from the refrigerator and add them to the masala sauce. Stir gently to coat the paneer with the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes, or until the paneer is fully coated in the sauce and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or a sprinkle of garam masala powder, if desired.
