For a richer flavor, marinate the paneer in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and a pinch of turmeric for 30 minutes before frying. Adjust the amount of garam masala and other spices to your preference. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned crushed tomatoes. Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.
