Add in your tomato/onion paste and sauté for a further minute. Add in your remaining spices, sauté for 30 seconds, then cover with a lid and leave on low-med heat for 2 minutes, stirring in between.
  3. Add your yoghurt to your sautéed paste and stir to combine – cooking for 1 min. Add in your remaining fenugreek leaves and stir, then follow with your water and salt, mix to combine, and sauté on low heat for 2-3 mins. Finally, add in your paneer cheese cubes and stir through. Serve with rice and enjoy!
