- Tomatoes - 2 (pureed)

- Green chilies - 2 (finely chopped)

- Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon

#### Method:

1. **Prepare the Paneer**:

- Lightly fry the paneer cubes in a little oil until they turn golden brown. Remove and set aside.

2. **Prepare the Vegetables**:

- In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, and sauté the cubed onions and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes on medium heat. They should remain slightly crunchy. Remove and set aside.

3. **Make the Masala**:

- In the same pan, add some oil and heat it. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

- Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until golden brown.

4. **Add Tomatoes**:

- Add the chopped green chilies and tomato puree. Cook until the oil starts to separate from the tomato mixture.

5. **Add Spices**:

- Add coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.

6. **Combine Everything**:

- Add the sautéed onions and bell peppers back into the pan. Mix well.

- Add the fried paneer cubes and mix gently.

- Sprinkle garam masala and kasuri methi. Stir well and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes on low heat so that the paneer absorbs the flavors.

7. **Garnish and Serve**:

- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
