Shahi paneer is popular in the Indian restaurants & is made in several ways. Similar to the other mughlai foods, this shahi paneer is prepared with nuts, onions, spices & yogurt or cream. Mughlai shahi paneer is one vegetarian dish that you must try for an exotic meal if you love shahi paneer already. Unlike most of the paneer dishes, paneer is cooked in a creamy white gravy with lots of flavours from spices, lusciousness from cashews and aroma from saffron (kesar).
Steps to make Shahi Paneer:
- Heat a pan and add roughly chopped tomatoes, onions (big chunks are fine!), cashews, almonds, cumin seeds, garlic cloves, ginger, salt and all the spices and butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add the water, cover and cook till it softens. About 10-15 minutes on a medium-high flame. Once the tomatoes have softened, set aside and let it cool.
- Once cooled, remove the spices from the mixture (cloves, cardamoms and cinnamon) and add the mixture to a blender. Blend till it’s a smooth paste That’s not too thick. (Not removing the spices will result in a strong flavour which isn’t what you need). Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any bits.
- Heat a pan and add two tablespoons of butter. Add the chilli and turmeric powder along with the Coriander and mix into a paste. Add the paneer cut into small cubes and evenly coat with the paste for about two minutes.
- Next add the gravy mixture and stir. If there’s any mixture stuck to the bowl mix it with some water and add it. Add the cream, sugar and salt to taste and cook on a medium flame. Also add kasuri methi.
- Cook for about ten minutes and your dish is ready to serve. Tastes best with jeera rice :)
