gravy, and the soft, succulent cubes of paneer, is a royal treat that can elevate any meal.

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step guide to making Sahi Paneer from scratch, ensuring that your dish is restaurant-worthy every time.


Ingredients:

  • For the gravy:

    • 2 tablespoons ghee or oil
    • 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
    • 1-inch ginger piece, grated
    • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1-2 green chilies, slit
    • 2 medium-sized tomatoes, pureed
    • 1/4 cup cashew nuts (soaked for 15-20 minutes)
    • 1/4 cup melon seeds (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
    • 1 teaspoon garam masala
    • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
    • 1 tablespoon fresh cream
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • Salt to taste
    • Water as needed

  • For the paneer:

    • 250g paneer (cubed)
    • 1 tablespoon ghee (for shallow frying)

  • For garnish:

    • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
    • A swirl of fresh cream

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Gravy:

  • Heat ghee or oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  • Add finely chopped onions, and sauté them until golden brown and caramelized. This step brings out the sweetness in the onions, enhancing the flavor of the curry.
  • Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and slit green chilies. Sauté for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
  • Blend the soaked cashew nuts, melon seeds, and poppy seeds into a smooth paste with a little water. Add this paste to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the oil begins to separate.
  • Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes lose their raw taste, and the oil again separates from the mixture.
  • Stir in coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, and red chili powder. Cook the spices for a couple of minutes, allowing them to infuse into the gravy.
  • Add milk and cream to the gravy. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to get the rich, creamy consistency.
  • Season with salt to taste and adjust the consistency by adding a bit of water if it’s too thick.

2. Frying the Paneer:

  • In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of ghee over medium heat.
  • Shallow fry the paneer cubes until they turn slightly golden on all sides. This step helps to prevent the paneer from becoming too soft when added to the gravy.

3. Bringing It All Together:

  • Gently add the fried paneer cubes to the creamy gravy. Stir to coat the paneer, but be careful not to break it. Let the paneer simmer in the gravy for 5-6 minutes, allowing it to soak up the rich flavors.
  • If you want a smoother texture, you can use a hand blender to gently puree the gravy, but keep a little texture for that authentic feel.

4. Garnish and Serve:

  • Garnish the Sahi Paneer with freshly chopped coriander leaves and a swirl of cream for that luxurious touch.
  • Serve this decadent curry with hot naan, roti, or steamed basmati rice.

Tips for the Best Sahi Paneer:

  • Paneer Quality: Fresh, soft paneer works best for this recipe. If you're using store-bought paneer, soak it in hot water for 15-20 minutes before using it. This will soften the paneer and make it more succulent.
  • Gravy Texture: For an extra-smooth texture, use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the gravy before adding the paneer. This ensures no lumps or unblended spices remain.
  • Spices: Adjust the spice level to suit your taste. For a more mild version, reduce the amount of red chili powder and green chilies.
  • Creaminess: If you prefer an ultra-creamy dish, add a bit more cream or cashew paste. The richness is what sets Sahi Paneer apart from other curry dishes.
  • Storage: Sahi Paneer tastes even better the next day as the flavors have had time to meld together. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.

Conclusion:

Sahi Paneer is the perfect balance of indulgence, flavor, and comfort. The richness of the gravy, combined with the softness of the paneer, makes this dish a showstopper. Whether you're preparing it for a special occasion or a weekday meal, this dish will surely leave your guests asking for more. Don’t forget to serve it with your favorite Indian bread or rice to soak up all that delicious gravy!
