Sprinkle some maida n your kneading station. 

Take out the dough, and divide it into two (2) same size dough. 

Knead and smoothen it, make balls.

 

• Cover it with a cloth and keep it to rest for another 20 - 30 minutes. (2nd stage of proving).

While the dough is resting, let us make the paneer makhni gravy.

Heat up a pan (kadai)

Cook for 5 - 6 minutes in medium high flame, cover the lid while cooking.

Once gravy starts moving with a stir, thickens and starts leaving the pan.

Mix it properly. 

Take out 1/2 cup gravy in a bowl to temper the cream.

Cook the rest of the gravy until it starts boiling.

• Add 1/3 cup of cream to the 1/2 cup gravy.

Mix the cream in the bowl and add it to your cooking pan, where rest of the gravy is boiling.

Give it a good stir and cook it for 2 - 4 minutes in high heat, then let the gravy cool down.

 

While the gravy is cooling down, let us prepare our paneer (cottage cheese).
