👩‍🍳 Method

Step 1: Lightly Fry the Paneer

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and lightly sauté paneer cubes until golden on the edges 🧀✨.
Remove and keep aside (soak in warm water to keep them soft).

Step 2: Prepare the Onion Base

In the same pan, add remaining oil/butter.
Add PIKS Cumin Seeds and let them crackle 🌿.
Add the roughly chopped onion and sauté until lightly golden — this forms the base of the gravy.

Step 3: Add Spices & Tomatoes

Add tomato puree and cook until oil separates 🍅🔥.
Now add PIKS Turmeric Powder, PIKS Coriander Powder, PIKS Red Chilli Powder, PIKS Black Pepper Powder, and salt.
Cook the masala well until aromatic and thick.

Step 4: Add the “Do Pyaza” Onions

Add sliced onions and sauté on high heat for 2–3 minutes 🧅✨.
The onions should stay slightly crunchy — this gives the dish its signature texture.

Step 5: Bring It Together

Add paneer cubes and mix gently so they don’t break 😋.
Add garam masala and a splash of water if needed.
Simmer for 5 minutes so the paneer absorbs all the flavors 🍛❤️

Step 6: Finish & Garnish

Add fresh cream for richness and garnish with coriander leaves 🌿✨.
Switch off the heat.
