Restaurant-Style Shahi Paneer with Attitude Shahi Paneer Masala

Shahi Paneer is the crowning glory of celebratory North Indian dining. The secret to its velvety richness and inviting aroma is a smooth gravy balanced with Attitude Shahi Paneer Masala.

Ingredients:

  • 250g Fresh Malai Paneer (cut into cubes)
  • 1.5 tbsp Attitude Shahi Paneer Masala
  • 1/2 tsp Attitude Haldi Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Attitude Kashmiri Mirch
  • 4 ripe tomatoes & 2 medium onions
  • 12–15 cashew nuts (soaked in warm water)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh cream or malai
  • 2 tbsp Butter & 1 tbsp Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Kasuri Methi (crushed)
  • Salt & a pinch of sugar to balance acidity

Cooking Steps:

  1. Roughly chop tomatoes, onions, ginger, and garlic. Simmer with soaked cashews in 1 cup of water for 10 minutes until soft. Cool and blend into a super-fine, silky puree. Strain if desired.
  2. Heat butter and oil in a pan. Add Attitude Kashmiri Mirch on low heat for vibrant colour, then pour in the pureed gravy.
  3. Add Attitude Shahi Paneer Masala, Attitude Haldi Powder, and salt. Sauté on medium-low heat until the gravy thickens and glossy butter surfaces at the edges.
  4. Stir in fresh cream and a pinch of sugar. Gently slide in the soft paneer cubes. Simmer for 3–4 minutes so the paneer absorbs the gravy.
  5. Finish with crushed Kasuri Methi and an extra drizzle of cream. Serve with hot butter naan or tandoori roti!
