DIRECTIONS:
At first, we need to cut paneer pieces into small triangle or cube shapes (~25g) from a block of paneer (400g). Marinate the paneer pieces with yogurt (curd) 3Tbsp, ginger & garlic paste (1Tbsp), salt ½Tbsp (or to taste), turmeric powder (½Tbsp), red chilli powder (½Tbsp), garam masala powder (½Tbsp), coriander powder (½Tbsp), sugar (½Tbsp), ghee (1Tbsp), mix all the ingredients with your hand and then gently massage and mix with the paneer pieces. Set it aside and marinate it for 15min.
Slice onion (200g) and fry on hot white oil for (~10min) or until golden brown, and in the midst add cashew nuts (15g) and fry together. Once it gets cold, make a paste. Keep it aside.
On the remaining oil, add ghee (1½Tbsp) and heat it. Add marinated paneer pieces and cook it for 3-4min. Further, add ½cup water and cook for 2-3min. Add tomato paste (readymade), if readymade tomato paste is not available, then take a medium size tomato, make a paste and use that in place of readymade tomato paste; cook for 3-4min. Add fried onions and cashew nuts paste and cook for 5min. Add kitchen king masala powder (readymade) ½Tbsp, this ingredient is very important for the recipe. Add milk (150ml), mix with rest of the ingredients with a spatula and cover with a lid cook for 5-6min. After 5-6min of cooking, add fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi), fresh cream (60ml) and gently mix all the ingredients. Mughlai Paneer Masala is ready to serve. Serve the recipe with naan roti.
TIP:
If fresh cream is not available, then whipped malai can be used in place of fresh cream.
