¼ cup tomato pasteYou can use tomato paste instead of tomato powder. It's a bit heavier, but the results will be the same.

Packing before your hike

Finely chop onion, and finely slice chilli. Cut paneer into cubes.

Cooking

Heat oil over medium heat. Fry onion and chilli for 5 minutes or until softened.

Add tikka masala paste and stir for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Add paneer and stir to coat. Fry for 5-10 minutes until browned.
