Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb of Paneer
  • 1 Cup of Heavy Cream
  • 5 or 6 Whole Tomatoes
  • 1 Cup Diced Onion
  • 3 Cloves Crushed Garlic
  • 2 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 Cups Frozen Green Peas
  • 2 Tbsp. Butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Cumin
  • 1 Tsp. Turmeric
  • 1/2 Tbsp. Coriander
  • 1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Garam Masala
  • 1 Tbsp. Salt
  • 2 Tsp. Chili Powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Onion Powder
  • 2 Tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tsp. Nutmeg
  • 1 Tsp. Ground Ginger

Method
 

  1. Score the bottoms of your tomatoes and boil in a large pot of water. Once the skin has begun to peel back remove the tomatoes from the water, peel the skin off, and set aside.
  2. Cut your cheese into cubes and set aside.
  3. In a large dutch oven pot, heat your butter as it begins to foam add your onions, then garlic. Stir until soft. Then add all of your spices and your tomatoes to the pot. Stir until the tomatoes are completely liquified. Once you have an almost soupy consistency, add your chicken broth.
  4. Cook for about 30 minutes until all the flavors have really cooked together.
  5. Now in batches, blend the mixture. If you have a emulsion blender be careful not to make a mess.
  6. Once everything is blended and smooth, add your mixture back to your pot. Taste it, if tastes a little off add a little more garam masala or cumin. Stir the mixture for about two minutes, then pour in your heavy cream. Have the heat on a low temperature.
  7. Add your cheese to the mixture and stir. Then add your peas, stir once more. Once the peas have cooked, serve over rice and enjoy!
  8. *Make sure the peas don't get mushy*
