Paneer Pasanda

Ingredients





















Method


  • 1Mix crumbled paneer, raisins, cashew paste (1 tbsp), and cardamom powder to prepare the stuffing. Sandwich the stuffing between two paneer triangles.


  • 2Coat the stuffed paneer in cornstarch and shallow fry in oil until golden. Set aside.


  • 3In a pan, heat ghee. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant.


  • 4Add tomato puree and cook until oil separates. Add turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala.


  • 5Blend the soaked cashews into a smooth paste and add it to the pan. Stir well.


  • 6Slowly add yogurt, stirring continuously to avoid curdling. Add milk, sugar, and salt.


  • 7Simmer the gravy for 5 minutes, then add the fried paneer triangles. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes.


  • 8Finish with a drizzle of cream and a sprinkle of kasuri methi. Serve hot with naan or jeera rice.

Notes


  • Paneer Pasanda tastes best with freshly made paneer.

  • Adjust the richness by reducing the cream or substituting it with cashew milk.
