Ingredients

Cheese
2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup crushed tomato
1 tbsp ghee

Method

PREP

Cut 8 oz paneer into cubes.

COOKING

Char the paneer in 1 tbsp ghee over high heat until spotted brown; remove. Bloom 1 tbsp garam masala, 1 garlic clove, and 1 tsp ginger in 2 tbsp butter, add 1/3 cup crushed tomato, and simmer 10 minutes.
Stir in 1/3 cup heavy cream into a glossy gravy, then fold in the paneer and simmer 5 minutes.

FINISH

Finish with 1 tbsp butter and cilantro. Serves 2 — macros are per serving (half the pan).

💡 Pro-Tip: Sear the paneer hard first for a browned, tikka-style crust — soft paneer dropped straight into gravy tastes flat.
