Paneer Korma Recipe
In Urdu, shahi paneer korma would literally translate to braised paneer in ''royal'' curry. Shahi means royal but when it refers to paneer, it usually indicates a creamy, decadent tomato sauce. To make the dish I started by quickly stir-frying cubes of paneer. Paneer is Indian-style soft cheese. I made the sauce with caramelized onion paste, yogurt, tomatoes, ginger garlic paste as well as several Indian spices. The paneer pieces are braised at a simmer in the curry sauce until well coated. The final touch is a little heavy cream. It’s not something you want to eat every day, but paneer korma is a perfect dish to make when you want to treat yourself.
