Mince ginger-garlic paste, slit green chillies lengthways, cut tomatoes into 1-inch wedges, julienne fresh ginger, chop fresh coriander. Combine kashmiri chilli powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric.

Boil
Bring salted water to boil in a saucepan over high heat. Blanch carrots and green beans 90 seconds until just tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Sear
Toss paneer with 0.5 tsp salt and black pepper. Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add paneer strips, sear 2 minutes turning, until edges are lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

Saute 1
Add remaining 1.5 tbsp oil to the pan. Add onion petals and bell peppers, stir-fry 2 minutes on high heat until edges char but vegetables stay crisp.

Bloom
Lower heat to medium. Add ginger-garlic paste and slit green chillies, cook 30 seconds until raw smell fades. Add tomato wedges, tomato paste, spice blend, and remaining 0.5 tsp salt. Cook 2 minutes stirring until tomato softens but holds shape.

Splash in 100ml hot water, stir to lift masala from pan. Cook 1 minute on medium until lightly thickened. Return paneer, blanched carrots and beans, add julienned ginger. Toss 90 seconds on medium-high until heated through and masala clings. Stir in garam masala off heat.
