Shahi Paneer Restaurant Style | होटल जैसा शाही पनीर | Shahi Paneer Masala

Shahi paneer is a popular and indulgent Indian dish that originates from Mughlai cuisine. It is known for its richness and taste.

Shahi paneer is a delicious and aromatic dish made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked in rich and creamy onion-tomato gravy that is full of Indian spices.

The word “shahi” means “royal”, which indicates the richness and opulence of this dish. It is a popular vegetarian dish and is quite common among people who enjoy vegetarian cuisine.

Shahi paneer is mostly prepared in two gravies – white gravy and brown or a little orangish gravy. The white one is quite creamy and sweet in taste however, the brown one is also creamy but it is also a little spicy. I prefer the brown or the orangish gravy shahi paneer as I don’t like too much sweetness in my food and in this recipe, all the flavours are perfectly balanced.

 

This brown or orangish gravy shahi paneer (Punjabi-style shahi paneer) would be loved by anyone who prefers a little spicy and brown gravy dishes over white gravy dishes.

So, if you are looking for a delicious restaurant-style dish at home, try this shahi paneer in restaurant style and enjoy that “restaurant wala taste“ at home.

The recipe is easy to follow, and you’ll end up with a dish that tastes just like you would at a restaurant. This restaurant-style shahi paneer masala is a deliciously spicy and creamy dish perfect for lunch or dinner and tastes really good with hot chapatis or rice.
