Paneer Pasanda recipe with step by step photos

for onion paste for Paneer Pasanda

 

    1. To make the Onion Paste for Paneer Pasanda, heat a broad non-stick pan and add the onions to it.
    2. Add the garlic. Use nice fresh garlic cloves for best flavour. To peel the garlic use a sharp knife.
    3. Add the ginger. Peel the ginger using a sharp knife and then chop it.
    4. Add the cashew nuts. This is added in mostly all Indian curries as it gives thickness to the gravy and also creaminess.
    5. Add 1 cup of water.
    6. Mix it well.
    7. Cook it on a medium flame for 10 minutes. Stir it in between. This boiling for a long times gives a very nice flavour to the Paneer Pasanda.
    8. Cool completely.
    9. Transfer the mixture into a small mixer jar. Always use a small mixer as it will blend well and faster.
    10. Blend it till smooth. Keep aside.
for the gravy for Paneer Pasanda

 

    1. To make the fried onions, place the onions in a deep bowl, sprinkle salt over them and slowly massage the onions with your hands.
    2. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
    3. Squeeze out the excess water.
    4. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep fry a few onions at a time on a medium flame.
    5. Drain the fried onions on an absorbent paper. Keep aside.
    6. Add the onions to a blender jar.
    7. Blend the deep-fried onions in a mixer till smooth. Keep aside. This is the deep-fried onion paste. 
    8. Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan.
    9. Add the onion paste which we had prepared earlier.
    10. Mix it well.
    11. Cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring in between.
    12. Add the chilli powder. This will give good spice to this gravy.
    13. Add the garam masala. A must ingredient in any North Indian gravy. Garam masala is easily available in all super markets but you can also make it at home using our recipe.
    14. Mix well.
    15. Cook on a medium flame for 1 minute.
    16. Add the curd, this is added to add little creaminess to this Paneer Pasanda recipe. Make sure before you add the curd it is whisked well using a whisk.
    17. Mix well and cook on a slow flame for 1 minute, while stirring continuously. If the flame is to high the curds will curdle so make sure you lower the flame.
    18. Add the deep-fried onion paste.
    19. Add the salt and ½ cup of water. Water is added to adjust the consistency of the gravy.
    20. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring in between.
how to proceed for the Paneer Pasanda

 

    1. Just before serving the Paneer Pasanda recipe, re-heat the gravy for 2 to 3 minutes.

    3. Mix Paneer Pasanda gently and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes. Do not mix the paneer cubes a lot as they will break.
    4. Serve this Paneer Pasanda hot garnished with coriander.
