Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a pressure cooker, add soaked lentils and kidney beans along with enough water to cover them. Cook until they are soft and mushy. Set aside.

  2. In a separate deep pan, heat ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.

  3. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent. Stir in grated ginger, minced garlic, and green chili. Cook until the raw aroma of ginger and garlic disappears.

  4. Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the masala.

  5. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to combine the flavors.

  6. Transfer the cooked lentils and kidney beans into the pan with the masala. Stir everything together and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  7. Add the cubed paneer and fresh cream to the dal mixture. Gently stir to incorporate the paneer without breaking it. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the paneer is heated through.

  8. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
