Directions
- 1Start off by chopping 6 Roma tomatoes, slicing 1.5 cups of onions, peeling 3 garlic cloves, and finely chopping 1 inch of ginger.
- 2Prepare your yogurt masala mix by adding 3 tbsp of yogurt, 1 tsp of Kashmiri Chili powder, 1 tsp of Coriander powder, and 1 tsp of turmeric.
- 3Mix it up, add butter, and set it aside.
- 4In a pan set to medium-high heat, add 3 tbsp of Ghee, 2 bay leaves, 3 cloves and 2 cardamom pods.
- 5After 30 seconds, add ginger, garlic, and 2 Thai Green chilies. Cook for a minute before adding the onions.
- 6Keep stirring and cook till the onions turn translucent.
- 7Add the yogurt mix and let it cook for a few minutes before adding 2 dried red chilies, 18 cashews.
- 8Incorporate it and add tomatoes, salt to taste, and chili powder.
- 9Stir to combine and add just enough water to cover the tomatoes.
- 10Cover and let it cook till the tomatoes turn mushy.
- 11While that's happening, cut your paneer into cubes and soak in warm salted water to soften them up.
- 12Remove the whole spices and blend till smooth.
- 13I like to do a final Tadka which is optional, but I think it takes it to the next level.
- 14In a pan set to medium heat, add 4 tbsp of butter. Once it melts, add finely chopped onions and chili powder.
- 15Cook this till translucent and then add the blended gravy into this.
- 16Mix it up, taste it, and adjust salt amount and sugar to balance the flavors.
- 17Add more butter and crushed kasuri methi.
- 18Add the paneer and it's ready to serve with a final garnish of heavy cream and coriander.
