Shahi Paneer (Paneer with creamy curry) Recipe

Shahi Paneer is very similar to Makhni Paneer. The major difference is that Paneer is not fried for 'Shahi Paneer'.If you like gravy to be very smooth,then after grinding the gravy strain it and then add the paste and water.

Comments

Snigdha says :

The Recipe Description says that Paneer is 'not' fried for Shahi Paneer, however in the Directions you have asked to fry in the paneer in ghee/oil. Some recipes of Shahi Paneer ask to shred the paneer.
