Method:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add paneer blocks. Fry these pieces on both the sides till they turn golden

Place them in a bowl of water for about 15 mins.

Grind onion and tomato paste with all the ingredients listed above separetly are keep aside.

Heat another tbsp of oil in a same pan and add cumin seeds. When it starts to sizzle,add onion paste. Keep stirring at medium heat till onion paste turns light brown in colour.

Make sure that you continously stir the paste and it doesn’t stick to the pan.Now add kasuri methi and sugar and stir for another minute.

Add tomato paste and stir well. Simmer the heat and let it cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring in between to make sure it doesn’t stick to the pan.

Increase the heat to medium and add a cup of water, salt to taste and mix well. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Open the lid and adjust the seasonings.

If you find the gravy too thick, add about another ¼-½ cup of water. Drain water and mix in fried paneer pieces . Simmer the gravy and let it cook uncovered for another 5-7 minutes.Switch off.
Serve it hot with roti.
