Heat the butter in a pan and add the cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a few minutes. Then, add the tomato puree and cook until the oil separates.
Add the red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for a few minutes.
Gently stir in the cubed paneer and cream. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the paneer is heated through and the gravy thickens.
Sprinkle garam masala and garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
