Paneer: Use either fresh homemade paneer or packaged paneer. I’ll be cutting mine into small rectangles.
Nuts: I’m using a combination of cashews and almonds. If you’re allergic to cashews, feel free to just use onions. You can omit the nuts completely if you or someone you’re cooking for is allergic to all nuts, and simply omit them and add more cream and/or yogurt to compensate for the texture.
Ghee: Used to sauté the ingredients to make the gravy. You could use oil or butter if you’d like, but I love the flavour that comes from ghee.
Whole spices: Mace and green cardamom pods to add aroma and flavour. These will be blended up to make a smooth gravy.
Essentials: Ginger, garlic, and thinly sliced onions.
Tomatoes: I’ll be using passata/strained tomatoes for this recipe, adding the tomatoes in after our spices and essential ingredients have sautéed.
Yogurt: Use plain yogurt. This and the cream are the main components to achieve a thick and smooth gravy.
Deggi Mirch: One of my favourite spices to add a natural red colour to the dish.
Saffron: While it can be an investment, a little bit will go a long way here!
Kasoori methi: For garnish to finish our shahi paneer.
salt: Adjust as needed.
10% Cream: Add as needed to reach a vibrant orange colour and to make the gravy smooth and velvety.
