    Here's another delicious rich and sinful Shahi Paneer! This was so good that I have already made this couple of times. I know this looks more like Paneer Tawa Masala, but the ingredients and method is different.
    The first time I made was when I was making non veg for the rest of the family. However after seeing this, kids wanted to eat only this and not the non veg. Konda's birthday party was quite hectic with her friends coming over and the whole house full of people. I couldn't make the cake as I had planned on Homemade Burgers. Making the cutlets was quite tedious. All that vanished with everybody enjoying it. 
    I leave you to enjoy the sinful gravy, while I take off.

    Shahi Paneer 

    Ingredients Needed:

    Oil - 2 tsp
    Bay leaf - 2 medium
    Ginger, grated - 2"
    Garlic - 3 -4 cloves
    Onions - 1/2 cup minced
    Onions - 1/2 cup puree
    Tomato - 2 big, finely chopped
    Salt to taste
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    Red Chili powder -1  tsp
    Coriander powder - 1 tsp
    Cashew paste - 6-7 nos
    Milk - 1 cup
    Cream - 1 tsp
    Butter - 1 tsp

    For Paneer

    Homemade Paneer - 2 cups
    Butter - 2 tsp
    Green Chilies - 3

    How to make the Shahi Paneer

    In a non stick pan, heat the oil, add bay leaf and grated ginger garlic. Then add the minced onions, saute well.

    When the onions start to turn colour, add the onion puree. Cook well.

    Next add the tomatoes, salt and turmeric. Let the tomatoes turn mushy.

    Now add the coriander powder, red chili powder. Simmer and cook for couple of mins.

    Make a paste of cashew nuts, add to the gravy. After few mins, when the gravy boils, add the milk and continue cooking in low flame.

    Now add a cup of water. And simmer.

    Meanwhile in another pan, heat the butter, add paneer cubes, slit green chilies, toss till paneer turns golden.

    Add this to the gravy, cream and simmer for 5 mins. Remove.

    Serve with Naans

      I had thought Shahi Paneer is the same as Paneer butter masala. But I can see significant differences in the ingredients and procedure. Your recipe looks so inviting!
