1. Heat the oil, add the onion and green chilli and fry until soft.
2. Add the cumin seeds and fry until browned and fragrant.
3. Add the pepper, chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder and asafeotida (hing) powder and stir fry till a wonderful aroma leaves the pan.
4. Next add the grated ginger, sugar and chopped tomato.
5. Now add the paneer and salt and keep stirring on medium heat till panner and other ingredients are well-cooked.
6. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
