    For the paneer, bring milk and 4-5 teaspoons of salt to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat, stir lemon juice into the milk, bring the milk to the boil again and simmer for about 1 minute. Pour the curdled milk into a cloth, let it drain and squeeze the rest of the liquid. Weigh the paneer down with 2-3 kg (e.g. with a board and tins) and continue to squeeze for about 1 hour. Remove the finished panelling from the cloth and refrigerate until use.

    Cut the paneer into cubes. Peel and finely chop the onions. Peel and slice the garlic. Peel ginger and grate finely. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan and fry the cheese in it for about 3 minutes, turning carefully. Remove from the pan and keep warm

After about 5 minutes, add the tomatoes, paneer and cream to the pan, fold in carefully and braise. Wash the coriander, shake dry and chop coarsely. Sprinkle over the paneer
