    Method
  1. In a food processor or grinder, add almonds, cumin seeds and poppy seeds and grind to a coarse powder.
  2. Add the powder to curd along with green chilli paste, garam masala, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp red chilli powder and 1 tbsp garam masala powder and mix well.
  3. Add paneer cubes to the curd mixture.
  4. Mix well making sure the paneer does not crumble and the curd mix coats all the paneer cubes.
  5. Let that marinate for 20 - 30 minutes.
  6. Arrange the cubes one by one on a grill pan and grill for 15 minutes or until the outside of the paneer is golden brown.

  8. Don't discard the yogurt mixture leftover. Mix well with milk and set aside.
  9. Heat 2 tsp oil and add cinnamon, onions and saute until the onions are golden brown.
  10. Add tomato puree, water and mix well. Let it boil and reduce to half.
  11. Now, add the curd-milk mixture to the pan and mix well. Let that again come to a boil.
  12. Add the paneer pieces to the gravy and mix well.
  13. Garnish with coriander or parsley leaves and serve hot with rice or bread.
