Pro Tips: the flavor is in the precooked tomato sauce with spices, beforehand. PAneer should be added towards the end. The paneer is very delicate and should not be cooked for a long time. Else it will break down and dissove. Sometimes simply making a dry version instead of gravy is the best thing to do.
