Instructions

1. Cut the paneer into pieces about 2 by ¾ inches (roughly 5 by 2 cm). If using fresh tomatoes, puree them in a blender.
2. Heat the oil or ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and chilies and fry for 1 minute.
3. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until light golden. Stir in the ginger garlic paste and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Lower the heat, stir in the chilli powder, garam masala, coriander powder (if using), turmeric and salt. Immediately pour in the tomato puree.
5. Cook on medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until slightly thick (2 to 3 minutes if using store-bought puree).
6. Add the bell peppers and diced onion and stir-fry on medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly tender but still crunchy. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if the pan dries out.
7. Taste and adjust with salt, vinegar or tomato paste (only if needed) and sugar if using.
8. Lower the heat, add the paneer, crush the kasuri methi over it and stir gently to coat.
9. Cover and cook on very low heat for 2 to 3 minutes until hot. Sprinkle with coriander leaves.
