Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. Peel and cut them into small cubes.
Rinse the chickpeas and drain them well. If using canned chickpeas, ensure they are thoroughly drained. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and boil until tender.
Cut the paneer into small cubes.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, and garlic.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them crackle.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they become golden brown.
Stir in the ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the tomatoes and cook until they soften, and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Now, add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the chickpeas and paneer cubes. Stir well to coat them with the spices.
Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove the lid and let the sabji fry for another 5 minutes to get a slightly crispy texture.
Stir in the garam masala and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with bread, rice, or flatbreads like naan or roti.
