A delicious paneer/cottage cheese dish. I made it with a little change.

Flavoured the paneer with coriander. You can use mint too. Gravy is rich and yummy. You can make it more rich by adding 1-2 tablespoon beaten cream in the gravy.

A perfect side dish for a party. Make and enjoy it in lunch or dinner.

Keep in refrigerator for half an hour. Cut them as you like.

Shallow fry the paneer pieces on a nonstick pan with little oil. Fry lightly. Don’t change the colour.
Pieces should be green.
Keep them aside.

Now heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan add chopped garlic saute till the colour begins to change. Add cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and mace. Then add the onion.

Fry till light brown add the ginger and cashew nuts saute and add tomatoes. Saute till tomatoes becomes mushy. Switch off the flame.

Let it cool. Grind to make a smooth paste.
Heat remaining oil and butter add the paste saute till oil leaves the sides.

Add all the dry spices. Saute then add salt, sugar and tomato sauce. Mix well.

Add water as required for thick gravy.
Let it boil for 5-6 minutes on simmer.
Now its ready to serve. Arrange the paneer pieces on gravy. Garnish with cashew nuts.

Paneer pieces are too soft so don’t boil them with gravy. It may be crumble.

    What a brilliant idea Sujata. To mix paneer with spices and fresh coriander so that it is green. And then to serve that with a rich tomato gravy, my mouth is literally watering. Will have to try your hariyali paneer makhani masala.

    This hariyali paneer makhani looks amazing. I love the idea of flavouring the paneer and then frying it before adding to the curry. I am looking forward to trying your recipe soon.

    Hariyali Paneer Makhni Masala looks irresistible. Coriander has given a beautiful colour to the gravy. I am tempted to make it soon.
