Cooking Steps
Preparation:
Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they turn translucent.
Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell goes away.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and turn mushy.
Add coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well.
Add green peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are partially cooked.
Add low-fat paneer cubes and mix well, ensuring the paneer is coated in the masala.
Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat until the paneer is heated through and the green peas are fully cooked.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with brown rice or whole wheat roti.
