Dum Chatpata Paneer Masala

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a heavy pan and lightly sear the paneer cubes for 2–3 minutes. Remove before they become firm.

Add the remaining oil. Add 1 tsp of Ember Crest Whole Cumin Seeds and the dried red chillies; temper until aromatic.

Add the onions and cook until golden. Add the ginger, garlic and green chillies and cook for 1 minute.

Add the tomato puree, ½ tsp of Ember Crest Turmeric Powder and half the salt. Bhuno for 7–9 minutes until glossy.

Mix 13 g–15 g of Ember Crest Dum Chatpata Meat Masala with 3 tbsp water, add it to the pan and bhuno on low heat for 1–2 minutes.

Add 150 ml hot water and simmer for 3–4 minutes to form a thick gravy.

Add the paneer and remaining salt. Fold gently, cover and cook on the lowest heat for 4–5 minutes.

Rest covered for 5 minutes, garnish with coriander and serve immediately.
