Shahi Paneer

This deliciously thick and creamy-done Paneer Gravy is easy to make and tastes divine. U can do it in 13 - 15 mins time and this serves 4 nos. U can use 50 ml tomato puree for a tomato. This dish reminds me of my Mom as she does it better than me. Try this Shahi Paneer at home and Enjoy an easy Dinner with Rice, Bread Slices and Indian Breads. BonAppetit!.

U know, I made this last weekend and it was such a big hit. It was perhaps the best paneer gravy I made ever in my life and now your post reminds that back. I used cashew paste as well to make it even richer (coz there were some special guests asking for that). Your pic looks so tempting, can't express even. I could not take a click of my prep, but I'm glad you've posted. :)
