This pour and cook peach paneer curry is sweet, savory, and simple to make. It calls for a 1 minute cook time in an instant pot! I’ve also included stovetop directions below.
What’s Peach Paneer Curry?
Peaches in an Indian recipe? Not a fruit you’d expect to find in a curry. Mango or coconut? Yes, definitely. But peaches? Nope. Well, that’s about to change because it turns out that juicy ripe peaches pair beautifully with spices like fenugreek leaves, garam masala, and cayenne (or lal mirch)—a sweet and spicy combination. I’m excited about these two main ingredients making their debut together. I love Indian food, and I also love eating seasonally, so it makes a lot of sense to me that peaches and paneer make a great pair.
How to Make Peach Paneer Curry:
The first step: blend ripe peaches! Then pour the blended peach sauce into an instant pot, along with the rest of the cast: paneer, bell peppers, onion masala, and a handful of spices. Once it’s done cooking, stir in some diced peaches and garnish the top of the curry with them too. They add a burst of fresh and juicy sweetness to each spoonful of curry! I hope you get a chance to make this peach curry while we’re still in prime peach season.
