1) Heat oil in a pan and add the caraway seeds and whole garam masala. Add the green chilies, ginger garlic paste and onions and sauté until the onions are caramelized. Sprinkle salt.
2) Add the tomatoes and cook until it turns soft and then add the turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder and sauté for a minute.

You can leave out Paneer and just do the Gobi Matar Kheema.
