Method

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, dried red chillies, ginger, garlic and green chillies. Saute them for a minute.

  2. Add onions and saute till translucent.

  3. Add tomatoes and cashew nuts. Add salt and cover and cook till tomatoes are soft and mushy.

  4. Then transfer to a grinder and let it cool down. Grind into a fine paste. Add little water if needed.

  5. Now add butter and oil to the pan. Add red chilli powder and coriander powder and cook for 30 seconds.

  6. Add the pureed paste and mix well.

  7. Add garam masala, kasuri methi and sugar and cover and cook for 10 minutes on low flame.

  8. Add water, fresh cream, paneer cubes and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

  9. Turn off the gas, paneer makhani is ready.

  10. For the dough, in ¼ cup warm water, add sugar and yeast, mix it well and keep it covered for 5-7 minutes.

  11. In another bowl, add all purpose flour, salt and mix them.

  12. Add butter to it.

  13. Once the yeast has bloomed, add the yeast water to the flour mix.

  14. Start kneading the dough. Add more warm water if needed.

  15. Make a soft and sticky dough. Transfer it to a baking mat or kitchen slab that has been dusted with dry flour or oil.

  16. Knead it for 10 minutes using the stretch and fold technique.

  17. After it becomes smooth and does not stick to your hands, make a ball and tuck it from the bottom. Grease the dough and sides of the bowl and keep it covered in a dark and warm place for proofing. First proofing will take 1-1.5 hours or till the dough doubles in size.

  18. After proofing, punch the dough to knock out all the air and then divide the dough into 5 balls.
