Shahi Paneer is a rich and creamy paneer gravy made using tomato, onion and cashew paste. It can be relished with roti, naan, rice or any other bread. The word shahi means royal. As the name suggest it has a very rich flavor. I can say this is my last post of the year 2019 or the first post of the year 2020. New year has begun in India and its still 31st evening in Canada. And I'm ready to post my 2nd recipe on paneer. Just noticed that i have posted very less recipe on paneer. So i decided to post this recipe which was in draft for a longer time. And by the end of 2020 i will post atleast 15 paneer recipe in my website.

Method:
Bring water to a rolling boil and blanch onion for 4 minutes and purée them. Purée tomatoes and keep aside.
Soak cashews in milk for 15 mins and blend them to a smooth paste.
Cut the paneer into cubes and soak it in warm water. This step is purely optional. But it makes the paneer soft.
Heat oil in a pan, add in ginger garlic paste and sauté until raw smell is gone.
Add the puréed onion and sauté them for 3-4 minutes.
Now add chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder, cardamom powder and turmeric and sauté for a minute.
Add the tomato purée and give it a good mix. Add salt, sugar and cook for 5 minutes.
When tomato is cooked add the cashew sauce and paneer cubes. Cook for 2 minutes, add fresh cream, crushed fenugreek leaves and switch off the flame.
Serve hot with naan, chapati or pulav.
Note:
- Instead of blanching onion, you can sauté onion along with spice powder and blend them into a smooth paste.
- If you blanch onion, make sure to cook until it browns otherwise it will give a bitter taste.
- You can also shallow fry the paneer.
