Recipe

• Heat the ghee or vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

• Add the Nosh Spice paneer masala spice mix to the pan and sauté for a minute to bloom the flavours.
• Pour in the tomato puree and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream to the tomato masala. Stir well to combine.
• Add salt to taste and let the gravy simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
• Gently add the cubed paneer to the gravy. Be careful not to break the paneer cubes while stirring.
• Let the paneer cook in the gravy for about 5 minutes, ensuring the paneer is heated through and coated with the masala.
• Garnish the Paneer Masala with chopped cilantro.
• Serve the curry hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
