For an even richer flavor, consider using ghee (clarified butter) instead of cooking oil. Gently pan-fry the paneer cubes before adding them to the gravy to give them a slightly crisp exterior. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference. Serve hot with naan bread or rice for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 hrs 30 mins
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
02
Step
15 hrs
Add puréed tomatoes to the skillet; cook until excess liquid evaporates and oil separates, 3 to 5 minutes. Add paneer, water, sugar, and salt; stir gently so paneer does not break apart. Cook until paneer absorbs some liquid, about 10 minutes. Stir in cream; simmer 5 minutes. Garnish servings with cilantro.

Nov 24, 2024I've tried many Shahi Paneer recipes, and this one is by far the best. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for a beginner cook like me.

Oct 14, 2024I used regular chili powder instead of Kashmiri, and it was still delicious, but I did use less of it as suggested. Will definitely make this again!
