How To Make Kadhai Paneer – Manjula’s Kitchen 

Kadhai Paneer stands as a delightful and gluten-free culinary masterpiece, presenting a luscious and creamy gravy that not only indulges the taste buds but also earns the favor of kids, making it an excellent choice for family meals. Kadai Paneer is indeed a versatile dish that brings joy to the table, offering a delightful culinary experience for all as a party recipe.



1. Preparing Kadhai Paneer: 

To embark on the culinary journey of crafting Kadai Paneer, start by cutting paneer and bell peppers into uniform ½ inch cubes. This meticulous preparation ensures a symphony of textures in every bite, with the paneer and bell peppers contributing to the dish’s delightful balance. The precise cubing sets the stage for the essence of the Kadhai Paneer recipe.



2. Creating the Flavorful Base:

In the next step of the Kadai Paneer recipe, blend tomatoes, ginger, and green chili to perfection, forming a vibrant and aromatic puree. This puree serves as the foundation for the rich and flavorful gravy that will envelop the paneer and bell peppers, creating a harmonious blend of spices and freshness.



  1. Sautéing Paneer to Perfection: 

As the journey continues, heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir-fry the paneer for approximately 2 minutes, ensuring they are taken out just before the paneer undergoes any noticeable color change. This swift yet precise stir-frying imparts a delectable texture to the paneer cubes, setting the tone for the forthcoming Kadhai Paneer’s culinary symphony.



  1. Tenderizing Bell Peppers: 

Following the sautéing of paneer, shift focus to the bell peppers. Stir-fry them in the same pan until they achieve a tender texture. It is crucial not to overcook the bell peppers, preserving their vibrant color and crispness. Once done, drain them on a paper towel, ensuring they retain their natural freshness and contribute a delightful crunch to the Kadhai Paneer.



  1. Infusing Flavors into the Kadhai: 

Returning to the same frying pan, it’s time to infuse the Kadhai Paneer with a burst of flavors. Test the oil by adding a cumin seed; if it crackles immediately, the oil is ready. Introduce asafetida and cumin seeds, allowing their aromatic essence to fill the air. This marks the beginning of the dish’s flavorful transformation.



  1. Crafting the Kadhai Paneer Gravy: 

Once the cumin seeds crack, add the previously prepared tomato puree, along with coriander powder, turmeric, fenugreek leaves, and cayenne pepper. Allow this aromatic medley to cook for about 4 minutes on medium heat, witnessing the reduction of the tomato mixture to about half its volume. This stage is critical for developing the rich and well-balanced flavors of the Kadhai Paneer.



  1. Achieving the Perfect Consistency: 

To achieve the desired consistency, add about 2 spoons of water and salt to the simmering gravy. As the mixture comes to a boil, reintroduce the stir-fried paneer and bell peppers, letting them simmer for approximately five more minutes on low-medium heat. This step allows the flavors to meld, creating a delectable union of textures and tastes in the final presentation of Kadai Paneer.



  1. Savoring the Kadhai Paneer Creation: 

With the simmering complete, Kadhai Paneer is now ready to grace the dining table. The result is a tantalizing amalgamation of well-cooked paneer, tender bell peppers, and a flavorsome gravy. Serve this culinary delight hot, savoring the symphony of spices and textures that characterize the perfect Kadhai Paneer dish.

    So delicious and easy. I did brown the paneer, which I thought added to the flavor but that’s a personal preference. Thanks again for this lovely recipe, Manjulaji!

    I really love your recipes they are so simple and easy. Tonight I made the kadai paneer and it turn out good my husband loved it. One thing I want to confirm is lal mirch a cayenne pepper in english or is it just a normal chilli power? Because I know cayenne pepper is different from chilli powder but my husband thinks a lal mirch is the same red chilli powder that we use it in everyday cooking.

    Hi aunty,,’

    your recipes are simple and very good.. for paneer recipes, instead of frying in oil, if you boil them in water and drain the water, the paneer wil be very very soft..

    thats my observation.

    Dear mrs. Manjula, thank you very much for all your interesting recepies. I really enjoy receiving every now and than a new one. But the problem I have, it’s really difficult to get the right ingredients in this area. What can I f.i. use instead of the fenugreek leaves? I was able to buy the seeds but not the leaves. Can I use these seeds instead? Thank you for your answer already.
    Have a pleasant day, Alexandra

      Jaya
      September 20, 2011 at 5:11 pm

      Alexandra, if you have the seeds you can plant several of them in some soil either in the garden during the summer or in a planting pot inside and grow your own fenugreek plant. When it matures, you can snip off the leaves and use them in cooking. Google “growing fenugreek” and you can find more advice on growing it.

        Steve Young
        April 15, 2012 at 2:57 pm

        We have been unable to find the leaves after looking in several markets. What a great idea to plant the seeds Jaya!

But from the last one year I have been following your receipes and everyone is surprised to see how well I can cook now. Can we add sabut garam masal in Kadai Paneer. Can you post the receipe of vegetable manchurian on your website.

    Thanks

    ONE TIP :: instead of frying the paneer, we can also put the paneer pieces in a cup of water and heat it in the microwave oven for 1:30 min. then drain the water and use the paneer immediately.

    I just made some paneer last night; I have some dried methi left over & this seems the perfect recipe for what I have in the kitchen cupboard! Any recommendations on what rice to serve with this???

    Hi again Manjula:

    The other ingredient which is not available in South America is Paneer… but from the comments i found out it was possible to replace paneer with tofu… however tofu has no taste… what do you suggest to do with the tofu prior to cooking it… vegetarians use soja sauce to marinade it and add flavor to it… but what would you use as “indian marinade”???
    thank you sooo much!!!

    I adore your site! Greetings from the end of the world..!

      hi preeti, i have tried this with onion and garlic and it was great….but in this case you should give much more time for frying, because if ginger and garlic are not properly done you don’t get the taste.

    I made this recipe today with some minor alterations (no fenugreek, as I did not have any) and it was FAN-TAS-TIC!

    I am excited to have such a delicious recipe to share with more friends and family next time. Thank you!

    That’s a good question. I have wondered that too, but never tried it. It SEEMS like it should work. If you try it, please reply back with how it turned out.

    is it possible to use “queso fresco” instead of paneer? (Mexican fresh cheese that I find in Winco’s Food)

    Cayenne pepper is the same as red chili pepper – it’s a red chili and hot.

    Excellent dish! Never thought it was so easy to make and came out very delicious. It had the same taste of the one which I had in the Indian Hotel. Also, cannot imagine, how could a North Indian dish be made without onion and garlic but has a yummy taste. Great! Hats off! I’m a vegetarian and like your recipes very much. Thanks.

    1/2 gallon milk will be enough

    This dish came out very nice. I really liked the flavor of the sauce with the dried fenugreek and it was much easier to make than I thought it would be.

    Hello Manjula-ji,

    one of my favourite dishes. Usually order this one at the restaurant !! I would love to try making this at home..I have a question, if I am going to be making with freshly made paneer, what would the measure of paneer be..?
    Does 1/2 gallon milk make 1/2 pound Paneer?

    Thank u and Regards
    -Sudha
