This is what u'll need....

Paneer - 1 cup
Onion - 2 medium

Here is the stir....

• Break red chillies into halves and add it to the onions

• Add a little salt and saute the onions for a couple of minutes

• Let there be a little crunch to the onions. Dont cook till they are soft

• Add half  a teaspoon of red chilli powder

• Spoon in fennel/saunf powder

• Curry powder gives a good taste to the powder. If you dont have it then you can any other spices instead

• Give the mixture a good mix to evenly distribute the spices

• Add roughly chopped tomatoes. Keep it big chunks 

• Stir it around for a couple of minutes and then add one-fourth cup of water.Cook for 2 minutes

• Meanwhile take curd in a wide bowl. Use fresh curd not the sour ones. Sour ones will ruin the taste of the curry by overpowering the spices

• Whisk the curd till smooth along with a little salt

• Add whisked curd to the pan 

• Stir around gently on low flame. Add paneer pieces to the pan

• Cook on very low flame till it all just warm and doesnt start to boil

• Transfer it to a serving bowl. Serve hot with chapathis and enjoy

Note:

• Use fresh curd else the sourness of curd will overpower the gravy taste
• Use salt with caution as we are doing in two stages
• If you curry powder then add spices of your choice
