We make different varieties of paneer recipes to pair with chapati. I have posted many paneer gravies in Jeyashri’s kitchen. This recipe I adapted from Tarla dalal’s cookbook. It turned out very nice. It is made using easily available ingredients. The aroma and the flavour of the spices take this paneer dish to a different level. We are adding chaat masala and dried fenugreek leaves for marinating the paneer. This gives a nice dhaba style taste to the paneer gravy. The semi-dry gravy pairs well with roti, naan, kulcha, and jeera rice . Also check out Dhaba style paneer recipe, Aloo paneer masala, Pepper paneer gravy, Malai paneer
In a bowl add 2 cups of paneer.Add 1 tsp of chaat masala, 1 tbsp of kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves), 1 tsp red chili powder, ½ tsp turmeric powder, and salt.Mix well and keep this aside for 20 minutes. Let this be at room temperature.You can use the paneer directly from the freezer, no need to thaw it.
In a pan add 1 tbsp of oil and add the marinated paneer.Cook this for 3 minutes till the paneer gets nicely roasted.
