Kadai Paneer Gravy Recipe / Restaurant Style Kadai Paneer with step by step photo is a very popular sidedish from Punjabi cuisine. For a simple version garam masala powder can be used, but freshly roasted and ground spice powder lends more aroma to the sabzi. It tastes good with soft chapathi, mint pulao and veg pulao.

Notes

Tips for Restaurant Style Kadai Paneer

  1. Adjust chilli/peppercorns as per spice level required.
  2. Red chilli can be replaced with kashmiri chilli, as it gives bright colour to the Kadai paneer recipe.
  3. I cubed the onion and capsicum, it can be chopped finely or julienned also.
  4. To make it simpler, ready-made tomato puree can also be used.
  5. For vibrant colour, use red and ripe tomato for the puree.
  6. Freshly ground spice powders add more aroma and taste to the gravy, so this is a must.
  7. Don't skip kasuri methi leaves, as it lends more flavour to the restaurant-style kadai paneer.
  8. If preferred paneer can be shallow fried. Keep it warm water till use to avoid the paneer turning rubbery.
  9. Paneer can be replaced with tofu, as it is low in calorie and vegan.
  10. After adding paneer, don't cook for a long time, otherwise, the paneer turns dense.
  11. Addition of cream is optional, but it adds more taste to the gravy.
