• 200 grams Chickpeas (canned or boiled)
• 150 grams Paneer (cubed)
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Tomato
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 1 tablespoon Garlic paste

• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 200 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into medium-sized cubes. Rinse them thoroughly and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion and chop the tomatoes and green chilies finely.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the ginger and garlic paste, and sauté for about a minute until the raw smell fades.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 6

Stir in the green chilies, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 8

Add the diced potatoes and mix to coat them well with the spices. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Add the chickpeas and cubed paneer, then pour in the water. Stir well and cover the pan to let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Uncover the pan, sprinkle garam masala over the sabji, and mix gently.

Step 11

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
