Heat a pan with both butter and oil at first. Shallow fry paneer cubes a bit for 3-4 minutes and remove them onto a plate. In the same pan, throw in the crushed coriander seeds, bay leaves, cinnamon and cardamom pods now.
Saute for a second before adding in the chopped onions. Stir in the ginger garlic paste and saute all for about 3-4 minutes until the raw smell diminishes.
Grind the green chillies with little water to make a paste. Add it to the pan. Mix well and also add beaten curd now. Simmer on a low heat for 5-8 minutes.
After done, stir in the paneer cubes. Sprinkle garam masala, add both chopped coriander and kasuri methi. Do not forget to stir in the fresh cream too. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes more before switching off the flame.
Garnish with more fresh cream, chopped coriander and kasuri methi before dishing it out. Serve it piping hot with zeera rice or naans.
