Instructions

1. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add all the dry spices to the pan and roast for around 2 minutes. Remove from the flame and let it cool.

2. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil and add the coconut. Roast till golden brown. Remove off the flame and let it cool. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and add the sliced onions. Add salt so that the onions cook fast. Cook till the onions turn light brown. Remove from the flame and let it cool.

3. Transfer the roasted spices, coconut and onion to a mixer. Add the water and grind into a fine paste. Transfer the paste to a large cooking pan/pot. Add in the jaggery. Let it come to a boil.

4. Add in the paneer. You can add fried paneer if you like. Add in the coriander and let the mixture come to a boil. Serve hot with rice or chapatis.
