Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Cheesy Tomato Puree

   Add 2 cups of cooked tomato puree and 2 tablespoons of Britannia Classic Cheese Spreadz into a mixer grinder. Blend until a smooth, creamy puree is formed.

2. 2.Sauté Aromatics

   Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a preheated pan. Add 1 finely chopped onion, 1 inch of finely chopped ginger, and 6 finely chopped garlic cloves. Sauté until the onion softens and turns light golden brown.

3. 3.Add Whole Spices and Puree

   Add 2 badi elaichi (black cardamom) to the sautéed aromatics and stir briefly. Pour in the blended cheesy tomato puree.

4. 4.Season and Simmer the Gravy

   Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala powder, salt to taste, and 1 tablespoon honey. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Allow the gravy to simmer until it bubbles up and thickens slightly.

5. 5.Add Paneer and Finish

   Once the gravy has simmered, add 200 grams of paneer cut into cubes and 1 tablespoon of kasuri methi. Stir gently to coat the paneer. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Turn off the heat.

6. 6.Serve

   Serve the hot cheesy paneer masala immediately with hot phulka, tawa paratha, or ghee rice.
