This veg mayonnaise sandwich is best served as soon as they are prepared, as the salt added in the filling can cause the veggies to lose moisture depending on the veggies used. If you’d like to make these for a party, chop all veggies, transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate it. Add mayo, seasonings and assemble just before your guests arrive. In this case, it’s best served without grilling, more like a tea sandwich.

Okay, I’m going to be a little boastful and say it is much better than the restaurant ones, at least the ones served here in the US. Everything tastes the same!

Shahi Paneer | How To Make Shahi Paneer  - 14

Paneer is known as cottage cheese in English. You guys know I love paneer. When it comes to dining outside, paneer tops my list amongst the vegetarian dishes.

It is also very common to spot paneer dishes for parties and wedding buffets. And more often than not kadai paneer | karahi paneer, palak paneer , paneer makhani | paneer butter masala , paneer tikka masala or shahi paneer masala are most certainly present. They are absolute party favorites.

WHAT IS SHAHI PANEER?

Shahi Paneer is a very rich and decadent, North Indian paneer curry. Cubes of paneer (Indian Cottage cheese) are simmered in a creamy, nutty and luscious onion-tomato curry, with mild and sweet undertones of whole spices and floral notes of saffron. Shahi paneer is thus Shahi, which simply means Royal in Hindi.

Shahi Paneer | How To Make Shahi Paneer  - 15

HOW TO MAKE SHAHI PANEER?

Let me walk you through a gist of the recipe. It may seem like a lot of ingredients, but believe me, most of them are pantry staples.

It all starts with working on an onion-tomato-cashew nut and almond mixture seasoned with whole and powdered spices, all of which is ground and strained into a silky smooth masala paste. The nuts lend the required thickness and creaminess in this shahi paneer recipe.

An important tip I’d like to share here is that do not skip straining the paste. Strain twice if you must!

Next, you cook down this paste, season with kasoori methi and garam masala.

Some water/milk goes in next to adjust the consistency, add the paneer cubes and finish off with some butter, cream and my favorite part of this recipe- saffron infused milk!

That final touch really makes this dish -“Shahi”! The sweet and exotic aroma of saffron elevates this dish, I highly suggest using it, but of course, you can omit if you wish to.

This shahi paneer recipe is pretty mild, even kids will enjoy this dish! If you like a spicy shahi paneer, add more chilli powder/cayenne pepper or some green chillies.

For Jain Shahi Paneer i.e shahi paneer without onion and garlic, simply skip the onions and garlic as I did in this paneer butter masala . It will not make much of a difference.

So with these simple steps, you can easily make this restaurant-worthy shahi paneer at home. You do not need any special shahi paneer masala powder or any other specific ingredient to make this dish. Just regular Indian spices, and if you do cook Indian food I’m sure you already have them in your pantry.
