It is often served with naan or rice and is a staple in Indian restaurants worldwide.

1

Measure out 1 cup of paneer and cut into bite-size pieces.

2

Chop 1 tomato, 1 medium onion, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 piece of ginger.

3

Add the chopped tomato, onion, garlic, ginger, and 15 cashews into a blender and blend until smooth.

Heat a frying pan with a little oil and toast the paneer pieces on each side until lightly golden brown, doing this in batches if necessary.

In a separate pot, heat oil and add the blended paste, frying for 1-2 minutes.

Add the powdered spices (kasturi methi, crushed clove powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and kosher red chili powder) and fry for another minute.

Cover the pot and let it cook until the oil rises to the top and the extra water evaporates, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the toasted paneer to the pot, mix everything, and let it simmer on low for 1-2 minutes.
