Shahi Paneer is a little like Paneer Makhanwala, with difference that we use more tomatoes here and no cashew nuts. It is a lighter gravy with all the flavours still there. The picture above does not do much justice, I had a bad Photo day with the weather being so gloomy and all rain and no sun.

Ingredients
250 gms Paneer, Cottage cheese
4 large tomatoes, chopped (3 cups chopped)
1 onion (3/4 cup chopped)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup curds, plain yogurt
1.5 tbsp cornflour, dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1 tbsp tomato sauce (Ketchup)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp pepper powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp tandoori masala
1 inch ginger, grated
2 black cardamom, crushed
1 green chili
1 tbsp ghee
coriander leaves for garnish
salt to taste

Method


  1. Heat 1/2 tbsp ghee, add the onions, ginger, green chili and black cardamon. Cook till the onions are light brown in color.

  2. Add the tomatoes and curds. Cook for 5 minutes.

  3. Cool the onion tomato paste and grind to a smooth paste. Add some water while grinding if needed.

  4. Heat 1/2 tbsp ghee, add the paste and cook till oil separates.

  5. Add the cornflour dissolved in water, stirring continuously.

  6. Add salt, chili powder, pepper powder, garam masala, tandoori masala and tomato sauce.

  7. Cook will the gravy thickens.

  8. Add milk and Paneer. Bring the gravy to a boil.

  9. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with Tandoori Roti, Naan, Roti, Purietc.


This goes to Srivalli's Curry Mela.

came across your blog while googling for shahi panner recipe. I tried yours yesterday and It came out awesome. But I had one question. Step 2. Adding the tomato and curds. Is it O.K to add the curds to the hot onions will it not get spoilt?
