Shahi Paneer- a smooth and creamy cottage cheese curry in tomato sauce

Shahi paneer is among the most favourite recipes of paneer. there are various recipes of making this creamy smooth curry . Today I am sharing my way of making Shahi paneer which is slightly different then the regular method of making it.

As I don’t use onion and garlic in my cooking so I have added grated bottle gourd in the curry which gave a nice creamy texture and mild sweetness to the curry. instead of using cream i have added evaporated milk but you can use fresh cream or malai instead.

Always try to use fresh malai paneer to make this curry.If you have kept your paneer in the refrigerator then do take out the paneer at least one hour before cooking the curry.

How To Make Shahi Paneer without onion and garlic

first of all chop paneer into pieces , no need to fry or saute in paneer in oil or ghee. now heat ghee or oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and the whole spices in the oil. when spices start to crackle then add the grated bottle gourd and saute for a minute . now cover the pan with a lid and let the gourd soften a bit.

Add tomatoes and cashew nuts in the pan and let it cook till the tomatoes become soft. Now grind the mixture to make a fine paste and then strain to make a smooth puree. Heat ghee or butter in a pan and add kashmiri chili powder and add in the prepared curry. saute for a minute.

Add 3 tbsp curd and stir to mix.add fresh or dried kasoori methi ,1 tsp chili powder , sugar and mix cover and cook for few minutes. Now add evaporated milk and cook for a minute. add paneer , cardamom powder and garam masala and simmer for 2 minutes. garnish with kasoori methi and serve.
