Heat oil in a pan, add the onions. Once they are translucent, add the garlic and let them get the oil and onion flavour on them.
Add a little salt at the point.Add the barley and let it toast for a few minutes.
Add salt and pepper.Add the carrot, wine and one cup of stock. Reduce the flame to medium and let it absorb the stock.
Add another cup of stock when you see the grains are dry-ish. Repeat the process until all the stock is over.
Add half of the paneer-cheese mix and the milk, it should not be mushy but should be fully cooked. Add the peas and tomatoes and cover with a lid. Cook like this for 5 min.
