Preparation

Cooking
Heat ghee in a cooking pan and add onion paste to it.
Cook onions, until they turn brown in color and oil, start to separate from the pan.
Stir in tomato paste and then cook it with onions until the mixture turns maroon in color and again oil starts to separate.
Meanwhile, crush ginger and garlic together to a nice paste using mortar and pestle.
Add this ginger garlic paste to the pan and cook them for a minute with the onion-tomato mixture.
Add ground cumin, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and chili powder to the cooking pan.
Stir the mixture for about 10 seconds and then pour 1½ cups of water into it.
Let the water boil for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the gravy thickens.
Stir in paneer cubes and simmer the curry for 2 minutes.
