PANEER in TOMATO-CASHEW GRAVY

Paneer is one of my favorite ingredients to cook with. I love any dishes made with it. Paneer in tomato-cashew gravy is one of the best. Cashew paste reduces the tartness of the tomatoes. I add a pinch of sugar which makes it slightly sweet but not overly sweet.
This is my post for day 4 of RM.

Onions - 1 medium size (grind to a paste)
