Cooking Method
Marination
In a large bowl, whisk together garam masala powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
Add the Amul malai paneer cubes to the bowl and gently mix until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the paneer to marinate.
Gravy Preparation
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent and golden brown.
Add the minced garlic and ginger paste, and sauté for another minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and mushy.
Add the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Final Assembly
Add the marinated paneer cubes to the gravy and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until they are fully coated with the sauce.
Stir in the butter and kasuri methi (if using) until the butter is fully incorporated.
