- 5Using a hand blender, blend the cooked ingredients in the pot until a smooth, creamy texture is achieved.
- 6Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add garam masala, sugar, and whole milk to the blended mixture. Allow it to boil for 30 seconds. Add the paneer cubes and let them cook for 2 minutes. Top with crushed kasoori methi before serving.
