Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesy Tomato Puree

Add 2 cups of cooked tomato puree and 2 tablespoons of Britannia Classic Cheese Spread into a mixer grinder. Blend until it forms a smooth, creamy puree.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

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

Step 3: Add Spices and Tomato Puree

Add 2 badi elaichi (black cardamom) to the sautéed aromatics and stir. Pour in the blended cheesy tomato puree. Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala powder, salt to taste, and 1 tablespoon honey.

Step 4: Simmer the Gravy

Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients. Allow the tomato gravy to simmer until it bubbles up and reaches a nice thick and creamy consistency.

Step 5: Add Paneer and Kasuri Methi

Once the gravy is bubbling, add 200 grams of paneer cut into cubes and 1 tablespoon of kasuri methi. Stir gently to coat the paneer.

Step 6: Final Simmer and Serve

Simmer the paneer masala for another 3 to 4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Turn off the heat. Serve hot with ghee rice or phulka.

Pro Tips

Blending the cheese spread with the tomato puree ensures a perfectly smooth and creamy texture without needing to stir it in later.

Recipe Variations

Serve with hot phulkas, tawa paratha, or ghee rice.
