- Add chopped tomato, turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt.
- Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil begins to separate from the masala.

- For softer paneer, soak refrigerated paneer cubes in warm water for a few minutes before cooking.
- Add more green chili if you prefer a spicier sabzi.
- Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if you like a little extra brightness.
