    For the second day of Smooth Gravies, I have a Shahi Paneer Masala. You know I can't complete this series without a paneer in tow right. This is a gravy I cooked as I went on when kids asked for a new version of their favorite paneer.
    I started without an idea on how differently I was going to make. However, the prerequisite that the gravy has to be smooth was already known. So I added ingredients as I went. I know this has almost the same ingredients of my regular paneer butter masala, however by changing the steps of what goes in when, changes the taste drastically. 
    My kids loved it so much and though I wanted to write down the recipe then, I never came around doing it on time. 
    This meal was cooked way back in February and the other dish is the Moong Sprout Subzi was for hubby dear!

    Paneer - made from 2 liters (gets you about 400 gms)

      I make this the same way except for the cashews. I think they add to the creaminess and richness of the gravy. Will try this next time when making paneer at home..
