Paneer makhmali

                                                                             


I am a great fan of Late Tarla dalal madam.While I was searching for new paneer gravy dish recipe on her website I came across this Paneer makhmali recipe.I tried this recipe for the first time and fell in love with it. What’s best about this recipe is that it doesn't call for any fancy ingredients, it is super easy to prepare and tastes wow.

Even there is no use of heavy milk cream in this dish unlike other paneer preparations which makes this dish healthy too.This aromatic dish gets its characteristic green color and fresh flavor from a marinade of coriander,mint and green chilies. The addition of cashews and curds to the marinade imparts a rich flavor and creamy texture to the paneer, giving this dish a luxurious feel.

        Ingredients (serves 4)
  • 500 Gms Paneer (cut into cubes)
  • 1 Sliced onion
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1-2 tsp Garam Masala

  • 2 cups Chopped coriander leaves
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Mint leaves
  • 2-3 Green chilies
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1/4 cup Cashew nuts broken
  • 1/4 cup Curd
  • 1 tablespoon Lime juice
  • Salt (as per taste) 

        Method of preparation
  • Grind coriander leaves, mint leaves, chilies, ginger, cashew nuts, curd,and lime juice to form a fine paste .
  • Mix this mixture with paneer and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat butter and in a pan and saute onions till they are translucent.
  • Add the marinated paneer and toss carefully till the raw smell goes on a low flame.Add milk and simmer till the gravy thickens. Sprinkle the garam masala and salt, mix well. Cook for 3-4 minutes more.
