In a food processor blitz the onion, garlic, ginger and green chilli. Once this is done heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry off the paneer until golden all over, about 8 minutes then remove and set aside.
Turn the heat down to medium and in the same pan tip in the blitzed mixture and fry until it starts to caramelise, about 10 minutes. If it seems like it may be starting to brown too quickly add a little water. Add the garam masala and fry for a further minute.
