- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin

- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- Salt

- Few sprigs fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped, to serve
Instructions
- Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan, and add the diced paneer in a single layer. Cook over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes, turning the pieces of cheese regularly, until golden brown.
- In a separate frying pan, heat another dash of oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the spices, and cook for 1 more minute, stirring regularly. Next add the tinned tomatoes, and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the tomato curry sauce to your desired smoothness.
