Now starting off with the recipe,

Ingredients:

3 tomatoes

2 onions

2 tbsp ginger garlic paste

1 bay leaf

1 cinnamon stick

2-3 cloves

1 tsp spices( chilli powder, salt, Garam masala, cumin powder etc)

2 tbsp oil

200 gms paneer

Some fenugreek leaves

Directions:

. First, chop the onions finely and cut the tomatoes in 4 pieces. Make a paste of garlic and ginger.

. Add oil to a pan and then fry the ginger garlic paste in it.now add the other spices like the Bayleaf ,the cinnamon stick and cloves.

Let it fry until the raw smell of ginger and garlic is gone. Now add the finely chopped onions and fry this till they are cooked. Now add all the spices and give it a good mix.

Now, Purée the tomatoes in a blender jar. Then add it to the pan through a strainer so that all the seeds and skin is left behind.

Then stir this well and cook for about five minutes. Sprinkle a little water each time the moisture is lost and the mixture becomes thick . it should start to leave pan slightly.

When it looks something like this add in the Paneer. Make sure that the Paneer or tofu is cube cut and is not cut in a thin manner . if it is done so it would not hold its shape in the gravy.

Now mix it well and add the fenugreek leaves. Cook this for two minutes and garnish with some coriander leaves. Serve this with Lachcha parantha, Tandoori roti or Naan.

I hope you guys like this recipe and please let me know in the comments. Also feel free to ask about any doubts or give suggestions.

    1. Sure. Could you explain that a bit? Oh you mean the title? It’s Indian cuisine so I kept the traditional name. But kadai paneer if you’re saying it right in English would be, one pot cottage cheese/tofu. It’s a North Indian recipe that is prepared by making the gravy out of onions and tomatoes. Also hope the pictures do help!😀
