Shahi Paneer

A creamy and flavorful Indian dish made with paneer and spices, perfect for serving with naan or rice.

Ingredients

  • cooking oil (2 tablespoons)
  • onion (1 )
  • garlic (4 cloves)
  • ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
  • ground coriander (1 teaspoon)
  • ground turmeric (0.5 teaspoon)
  • Kashmiri red chili powder (0.5 teaspoon)
  • tomatoes (4 )
  • paneer (0.5 pound)
  • water (0.25 cup)
  • white sugar (1 teaspoon)
  • salt (0 )
  • cream (0.25 cup)
  • chopped fresh cilantro (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until onions are soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder over onion and garlic. Continue cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add pureed 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 and simmer another 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro to serve.
