I love simple recipes and easy cooking that calls for fewer ingredients and simple steps to follow. This paneer curry is one such recipe that can be made in 15 minutes. It's creamy, flavourful, and super delicious and it goes well with chapati, naan, roti and parathas.
This paneer curry recipe will come in handy when you have sudden guests at home and you want to make something special yet easy and quick to make. This very well goes with some boiled basmati rice too. You must have tried different paneer dishes like paneer butter masala, chilli paneer, kadai paneer etc., but this Easy Paneer Curry Recipe can be made with simple ingredients which are available at your home and it will taste as good as the restaurant paneer dishes.
Notes:
- Cashews can also be blended along with the onion and tomato to get a nutty flavour and also thickens the gravy.
- Green peas also can be used along with paneer.
- You can use this recipe as a basic curry recipe and instead of paneer, you can substitute veggies of your choice.
