Let's get to some very good homey Kadai Paneer, you guys. I shared this on my stories a few days back, planned on posting this as a reel and fell sick for over 10 days. Having recovered from a bout of throat infections and fever spells, I hope I share at least a few times a week here. Now, this recipe is a simple rustic home style Paneer gravy that calls for a fresh spice mix and basic ingredients lying around in the pantry. You can use this spice mix to make Kadai Vegetables or mushrooms or any protein of your choice. To make the Kadai Masala mix, dry roast, cool and grind to a slightly grainy powder the following - 🌸 1 tbsp coriander seeds 🌸 3 cloves 🌸 2 green cardamoms 🌸 1/2 inch piece cinnamon stick 🌸 1 tsp fennel seeds 🌸 10 black peppercorns 🌸 10 Byadagi or Kashmiri red chilis For the gravy - 🌼 Heat 1 tbsp each butter and oil in a pan. 🌼 Fry up 1 c each cubed onions and bell peppers until blistered. Drain and set aside. 🌼 To the same pan, add 2 green chilis slit lengthwise, a small knob of ginger chopped into julienne, 1.5 tsp ground garlic. Fry on low heat till raw smell of garlic goes away. 🌼Tip in 1 c finely chopped onions and stir. Continue to fry them till they begin golden. Add salt to the onions to expedite cooking. 🌼 Add 1 tsp Kashmiri Chili powder,3/4 tsp Turmeric powder and 2 tsp ground Kadai Masala. Mix and cook on low heat for 30 secs. 🌼Add 1 c tomato puree followed by 1 cup water. Stir to combine and simmer till raw smell of tomato goes away and you can see the oil floating around the edges. 🌼At this stage, add fried onions, bell peppers and 400 grams cubed Paneer. Combine gently. 🌼Simmer till mixture thickens slightly. 🌼Finish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves. Enjoy with Naans or phulkas. #tomatoblues #kadaipaneer #paneer #sgreels #sgfoodie #sgfoodies #sgfood #singaporefood #indianfoodlovers #indianfood #desikhana #homemadefood #homemadeisbest #gharkakhana #reelitin #recipies #soyummy #vegetarianmeals
