💡 Chef Pro Express Tip

"Crumble paneer by hand instead of grating for juicy, succulent curds."

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat ghee or oil in a skillet. Saute finely chopped onion and green chili for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Add chopped tomato, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes until tomatoes soften.

Fold in 200g crumbled paneer and toss gently on medium heat for 2 minutes. Do not overcook.

Garnish with fresh coriander and serve immediately with toasted sourdough or warm parathas.
