1Cut the paneer cheese into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the frozen peas and paneer cubes to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender and the paneer is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with rice or flatbread.
