1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 400 g | Paneer (cubed) |
| 0.5 cup | Greek Yogurt |
| 2 tbsp | Ginger-Garlic Paste |
| 1.5 tbsp | Kashmiri Red Chili Powder |
| 1 tsp | Garam Masala |
| 1.5 cup | Tomato Puree |
| 0.25 cup | Heavy Cream |
| 2 tbsp | Butter |
| 1 tbsp | Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek) |
| 1 large | Onion (finely chopped) |
2 Instructions
Prepare the marinade by mixing Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Toss the paneer cubes in this mixture and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the paneer cubes until they are charred and golden-brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In a separate large pan, melt the butter and add the remaining ginger-garlic paste and chopped onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent and slightly golden.
Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the sauce, about 10 minutes. Add a splash of water if the gravy becomes too thick.
Stir in the heavy cream and crushed kasuri methi. Season with salt and a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity.
💡 Tips & Tricks
-
·
For a professional smokey flavor, use the 'Dhungar' method by placing a hot piece of charcoal in a small bowl inside the curry pot and drizzling it with ghee before sealing the lid for 2 minutes.
-
·
Always use room temperature paneer to ensure it stays soft after cooking.
-
·
Sifting the tomato puree through a mesh sieve creates a much smoother, restaurant-style texture.
