How to make Marinara Cottage cheese at home?

To begin, cut the paneer pieces as per your choice.

To marinate, in a large bowl, mix together curd, cornflour, salt, Kashmiri red chili powder, coarsely ground garam masala, and chopped basil leaves.

Add in the paneer pieces and mix until well coated. Leave it to marinate for at least 10-15 minutes.

In the meantime, take 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add in the chopped onions and saute until translucent.

Add in the green chilies and the ginger garlic paste. Saute for a minute or two.

Next, add in the tomato puree and the tomato sauce. Cook until the liquid dries up. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool. Do not add the marinated paneer now or the curd might curdle.

Once the mixture has cooled down, keeping the flame on low heat, add in the marinated paneer. Mix well.

Cook until the gravy begins to bubble. Turn off the heat.

The Tomato Basil Paneer is ready to serve. Garnish with fried basil leaves.
