Paneer Gravy

Directions

  1. 1Make a ginger-chili paste using a mortar and pestle.
  2. 2Cut the paneer into small cubes. (The creator cut it specifically for Navratri series, but normal cut is fine).
  3. 3Add ghee or oil to a pan.
  4. 4Add the ginger-chili paste to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic.
  5. 5Add tomato puree to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. 6Once fat starts to separate, add curd, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
  7. 7Cover and cook for 5 minutes until you see beautiful fat separation.
  8. 8Add honey and kasuri methi, then turn off the flame.
  9. 9Optionally, add butter and cream; these will act as emulsifiers to keep everything together.

  11. 11Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
  12. 12Serve and enjoy.
