"This is a curry made with paneer cheese, which is very meaty and a great vegetarian option. You can probably get away with using peanut butter instead of cashew butter, but I do recommend the cashew for the flavor."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat oil in a skillet; add onion, cumin, mustard seed and curry leaves; cook for about a minute or until spices sputter.
Step 2
Add ginger and garlic paste to pan along with turmeric, coriander, asafoetida, salt and pepper, stirring to mix well.
Step 3
Add chopped tomatoes and chopped chillies and a half cup water and cook over low heat, stirring, until tomato breaks down, adding more water as needed.
Step 4
When tomatoes get soft and curry is still slightly saucy, stir in the cashew butter. Add a little water if it is too thick.
Step 5
Then stir in the cream and paneer cubes and simmer over low heat about 5 minutes or just until hot; do not boil.
