8 ounces (1 recipe) Paneer Cheese or store-bought
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
2 large tomatoes, finely chopped
1 to 3 fresh green chili pepper, such as serrano, minced with seeds
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, including soft stems
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. Prepare the paneer cheese and coarsely crumble. Heat the oil in a medium nonstick wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add the onions and cook, stirring, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes.

2. Add the tomatoes and green chili peppers and cook, stirring as needed, until most of the juices evaporate, about 7 minutes. Add all the spices and the salt, then mix in the paneer cheese. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat for the first 3 to 4 minutes and then over medium heat until golden, about 10 minutes. Mix in the cilantro. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle the black pepper on top, and serve.
