the onions will turn translucent. Continue to saute them. For quick cooking of
onions add a pinch of salt. Saute till the onions turn golden.

about 10 minutes. The tomatoes have to be cooked very well and oil should
release from the sauteed onion-tomato mixture.
- Add half cup beaten/wished curd and cook till oil starts separating from the sides, now add salt.
- Add half cup water and bring it to a boil. Simmer the
gravy for 6 to 7 minutes on medium-low flame. When the gravy is done you will
see oil specks on the top.
- Now it’s the time to add the paneer/cottage cheese, then
add ½ teaspoon kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) which have been crushed.

nutmeg.
- Cover and simmer for 2 mins, lastly add chopped coriander leaves. Mix again and turn off the flame.
