A quick and delicious paneer dish

So the other day I made some chicken makhni for my family, which to be honest I was a bit disappointed in. But after I was done I was left over with some cream which I never really use for anything except butter chicken. So yesterday I decided that I would make a creamy paneer dish which would allow me to finish the cream. The following are the ingredients.

1.5 teaspoons of coriander powder
1 teaspoon of Garam masala
salt to taste
.5 teaspoon of chili powder
1.5 teaspoon ketchup
2 tablespoons of tomato sauce
.5 cup of heavy whipping cream
.5 teaspoon cumin powder
2 teaspoons of fenugreek powder/ leaves
1 cup of cubed paneer
.5 stick of butter
.5 cup of fried onions (optional)
.25 teaspoon chat masala

Start by adding the coriander, cumin, salt, chili, ketchup, tomato sauce fenugreek leaves and garam masala in a bowl. Mix in half of the cream into the mixture and stir until all the lumps are gone and the consistency is of a rich sauce. In a saucepan, add the butter until it melts to this add the fried onions and cook for 30 secs. After this add the sauce mixture to the onions. Cook this on low heat for about 4-5 mins (you want the raw flavor of the spices to go away). Once you see the butter rising to the top of the sauce, add the paneer and cover the pan. Cook for another 4-5 mins. After the dish is done sprinkle the chat masala to taste. Enjoy with naan or roti or even rice.

Cheers!
