Here are the ingredients for making a shahi panner -
Step 1: Prepare the Paneer
If you’re using store-bought paneer, soak it in warm water for 15 minutes to soften it. If you’re making paneer at home using organic milk, cut it into cubes and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Spices
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, and green cardamom pods. Sauté until fragrant.
Step 3: Sauté the Onions
Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. This step is crucial for developing the deep, caramelized flavor that is characteristic of Shahi Paneer.
Step 4: Add the Tomatoes and Spices
Stir in the tomato puree and cook until the oil separates from the mixture. Add high curcumin, chemical-free haldi, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to release their aromas.
Step 5: Create the Creamy Base
Add the cashew paste and cook for a few minutes until the gravy thickens. Stir in the fresh cream, and season with salt to taste.
Step 6: Add the Paneer
Gently fold in the paneer cubes, ensuring they are well-coated with the rich gravy. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the paneer to absorb the flavors.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.
