Tasty Paneer Curry in a Hurry Recipe

This is a paneer curry my mom makes in microwave. .I made it on stove top though.and it took me 15 minutes from start to finish.. went very well with ajwain paranthas.
I added gram flour, onion and carom seeds in wheat flour dough for the parathas and they came out awesome too.
