Tried this recipe from net

Here the actual one in net

Needed:
Paneer/tofu - 1 block, approx. 2 cups of cubes
Onion - 1 medium-sized one, chopped fine
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Dhania powder/malli podi/Coriander powder - 1 tbsp
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Tomato paste- 1 tbsp (or 1 tomato, pureed)
Tomato sauce/ketchup - almost 1 tbsp

Milk - 1/2 cup
Cream - 1 cup
Oil - 3 tbsp
Salt - to taste

Method:
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and fry the paneer/tofu cubes until golden brown. Keep aside in paper napkin covered plate.
In the same pan, add 1 more tbsp oil and fry the onions until golden brown.
Add the ginger garlic paste and fry for some time (smell should go off)
Next, add the dhania powder, garam masala, chilli powder and some salt (I added little ghee too :P) and fry for a min
To this, add the tomato paste/puree, tomato sauce and little methi leaves(I didnt add methi leave as I didnt have it).
Mix well and add 1/2 cup milk.
Lower fire and cook covered for 5 mins.
Open lid, add the fried paneer/tofu.
Mix well and simmer for 2 mins.
Then add the fresh cream and simmer for 3-4 mins (till the gravey becomes little thick)
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if you have any.
