Mughlai cuisine recipes developed in medieval Indo-Persian culture have rich, delicious, and creamy gravy preparations. Like many Mughlai dishes have a rich spice flavor and are often associated with a distinct aroma, this recipe too has a taste of ground and whole spices.

Tips to make this Rich Shahi Paneer Recipe

  1. Use rich red tomatoes for the gravy.
  2. Use good quality spices for the best results.
  3. To make the gravy rich and creamy we have used cashews/cashew paste and cream. Use a good quality full-fat cream.
  4. Adding red capsicum enhances the color and flavor of the gravy.
  5. If you do not have or do not wish to use the Shahi paneer Masala, then you may add/substitute it with: salt, 2 tbsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp mango powder, 1 tsp red chili powder(degi mirch), 1/2 tsp cumin powder.

    This is one of my favorite things to order in a restaurant, and I’m so glad you had this great recipe for me to make at home. It came out great, and now I have a great stock of spices in the pantry to make it again.

    I’ve been craving Indian/Persian food here lately and this paneer didn’t disappoint. I made a fresh batch of naan to sop up the gravy with!

    Despite being a famous recipe, I had never heard about it before. Unfortunately I don’t have easy access to Indian cuisine, with a limited choice of restaurants and dishes that are suited to the local taste. So I always think it’s exciting to learn more from food bloggers and I’m glad I stumbled upon this fantastic recipe. I’m trying to sneak more vegetarian dishes into my diet and this is very much within my taste. Hope to just get all the spices right!

    Thank you for sharing such a flavorful dish! We used to love eating out all sorts of different cuisines, since everything has shut down I’ve been trying to make them at home. Your tip on substitutions for the shahi paneer masala was really helpful.
