- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch ginger minced

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil in a frying pan and add the onions and salt.
- Fry the onions on a moderate heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Once the onions are beginning to soften add in the turmeric, chilli powder, garlic and ginger: gently heat the spices along with the softened onions.
- In a separate pan, heat the remaining sunflower oil before adding the paneer cubes.
- Turn the paneer cubes over in the pan as and when their edges begin to brown and go crispy (roughly 5-8 minutes).
