Paneer shahi

Ingredients:
Paneer (Indian cheese also called fresh cottage cheese), get Nanak/ desi or Verka brand. Slice the paneer into cubes or triangles.
Tomato Paste: 3- 4tbsps
Salt to taste
Jeera/ Cumin 1/2 tsp
1- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
1/2 cup milk/ heavy whipping cream
Garam Masala 1/2 tsp
Ginger Garlic paste
corriander and green Chillies to decorate
Preparation time 10-12 mins

Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan. Add Jeera to it.
2. Add ginger garlic paste. Fry for 15- 20 secs
3. Add tomato paste. Add some water to it so that it becomes little tin. Like the soup consistency.
4. Add milk to it and boil. See to it that you stir tomato paste as you add milk. If you are not too calorie conscious you can add Heavy whipping cream to it instead of the milk. It gives a full and rich creamy taste.
5. Boil it stirring continuously.This whole provess may take 5 to 6 mins.
6. Add garam masala to it.
7. Add Panner to it.
8. Let it boil for some more time till paneer gets soft.
9. At the end stir in salt.10. Decorate with chopped corriander leaves and green chilli.
If the paneer is too much than save the half or rest of it. freeze it. You can use it over pizza and cheese based other dishes. It's a healthier option.
