Leave it aside for 5-10 mins Take 1 tablespoon ghee in a pan You can use oil or butter as well It gives a nice flavour to the gravy Fry the paneer cubes inside this Keep them one after another Fry them in this way for 3-4 mins Or unless it does not turn golden brown They should be fried and masalas should be coated on them Paneer is leaving some water here since I had kept them in fridge Keep flipping them on all sides.
Do not make them very dark Else your paneer will turn hard and chewy Do this entire procedure in medium flame Now these are fried well Now keep them aside I am storing it in pan itself with the ghee masala We will use them later in the gravy Take 2 tablespoon oil in a wok 2 tablespoon ghee or butter Let it melt Add 1 spoon jeera.
