Chili paneer Mumtaz is a very quick and delicious paneer curry recipe. It is the quickest curry I always make when ever I am in hurry. You don’t need to make tomato paste and stir fry to make the base gravy.

This creamy curry is made just with cream and cashews  and taste so amazing. you don’t even feel that this chili paneer Mumtaz it is made without using tomatoes .capsicum slices are stir fried in oil to get the nice flavor.

In this Chili Paneer Mumtaz Few tomato slices and tomato sauce is added to add colour and tanginess . Cashews and fresh cream give body and creaminess to the gravy. You can also add some full cream milk to the gravy if you don’t like thick curries.

You can serve this  chili paneer Mumtaz curry with jeera rice but personally I prefer serving this with naan or lachcha parathas.
