Quuick and easy paneer butter masala

This is a real quick one and everyone loved it at home when I made it last night for dinner.

In a bowl mix 2 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tbsp red chilli powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tbsp garam masala powder, 1 tbsp kasoori methi, 1 tbsp tomato ketchup, 1 tbsp tomato paste ( or 3 tbsp tomato puree). Add about 1 cup milk and mix. The mixture should be really runny.

In a pan, heat butter ( about 2 tbsp), add 2 chopped onions. Saute till onions are evenly browned, add 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste. Saute for a second and then add the above mixture. Cover and let it cook till the butter oozes out. Add some more milk to bring it to right consistency ( approx 1 and half cup). Bring it to boil. Add the paneer pieces ( about 500 gm paneer chopped into cubes ). Add salt and simmer for 5 minutes.

Serve with rice or roti.
