1

Steam broccoli florets for 2 minutes for faster cooking.

Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan and spread it on all sides.

3

Add 1 medium-sized sliced onion, 5-6 garlic cloves, and 1 inch of chopped ginger to the pan.

Sauté until the onion, ginger, and garlic turn golden brown in color.

5

Add 6-8 broken cashews and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.

6

Add 3 red chilies and 1 large chopped tomato, seasoning with salt for faster cooking.

7

Sauté the mixture until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy, then turn off the flame and let it cool slightly.

8

Grind the cooled mixture into a smooth paste.

In the same pan, add the paste and sauté on medium flame for 2 minutes until oil starts to separate.

10

Add the blanched broccoli florets to the paste and sauté for 1 minute until well combined.

11

Season with salt, a pinch of turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp red chili powder, and 1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder, mixing well on low flame.

Stir for a few seconds, then gently add the paneer cubes and sauté for 1 minute until coated with spices.
