    Instructions
     

    • Heat ghee in a kadhai. Add cumin seeds and allow to sputter. Now add onion and ginger garlic paste. Cook for about 5 minutes till the raw smell is gone and onion is golden brown.
    • Now add the tomatoes and green chillies (if using). Saute well till the paste becomes mushy.
    • Break khoya into small pieces and add to the paste. Cook till the khoya melts into the paste. If you want you can blend the masala paste in a blender after cooling it down.
    • Now add turmeric powder, garam masala, coriander powder along with cashew nut paste. Add some water to thin down the gravy. Add salt, sugar and cook the curry with a lid on low flame for about 10 minutes.
    • Add more water if needed. Check the seasoning and now add the paneer cubes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle kasuri methi.
    • Khoya paneer is ready to serve. Serve it hot with rotis and rice.

    Notes

    • You can fry the paneer pieces if you like. I prefer them as is.
    • Don’t overlook the paneer or it becomes stringy.  Hence add it towards the end.
    • You can also add mushroom if you like or fresh/frozen peas to the curry.
    • I use store bought khoya but you can make your own khoya if you like.
    • Khoya Paneer is a really tasty and rich recipe that is mildly spicy. You can add more chilli powder if you like it hotter.

      Looks so yummy! Such a paneer glutton I am. So is Gy. 😀

      Cashew paste, which brand do you recommend? Have never made cashew based curry because I thought the cashew gravy would take too long to make. But I didn't know there's a store-variety available.
