Shahi Paneer

Prarthana is a dear friend, and for the past I don't know, year, I have been craving this dish that she made. When I asked her for the recipe she said, why don't you just come over and I'll teach you how to make it! Duh, of course I said ok.

Sorry I don't have many pictures, but this dish is awesome. Do yourself a favor and don't look into the calorie or fat content of this meal.


Ingredients:

1 package Paneer (can be found at Whole Foods or an Indian market)
2 cans tomato paste
2 green peppers, seeded and diced
3 cloves garlic
3-4 green chilis (found at Whole Foods or an Indian market)
3-4 red chilis
1 sticks butter
1/2 quart heavy cream
1 tbsp butter chicken mix (found at Whole Foods or an Indian market) - you can put more in to taste, it'll get pretty spicy.
Vegetable oil (for frying)

  • Melt the butter
  • Add red and green chilis, garlic, and pepper, simmer until brown (chilis first, then pepper)
  • If you want to get fancy, while your chilis and peppers are simmering, cube your paneer and then fry it in vegetable oil until golden brown on all sides
  •  Add tomato paste
  • Add cream slowly to get a thick consistency
  • Add equal parts water
  • Bring to a boil
  • Add shahi to your fried paneer and bring it to simmer
  • Add cilantro

Serve with naan and enjoy!

  1. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your
    articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But think
    about if you added some great pictures or video clips
    to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and
    videos, this website could certainly be one of the very best in its niche.
    Good blog!
