Would recommend adding a little bit of milk but otherwise a good recipe for beginners. Our family enjoyed it this weekend.

I love this. Thanks for so good recipes, easily understand every step.

So easy to make, so yummy. I used a whizz stick to blend- it was easier than using a food processor - less dishes. The sweet sauce also works well with pumpkin which I tried yesterday. Add once all is whizzed and simmer till soft. I could not stop eating it. Served it with saffron rice.

Hi,

I loved this recipe of yours. It really came out well.
I am planning to cook it for my daughter's b'day party. How much should I take the ingredients if I have to cook for 20 people. Please suggest.

Response: Hi Neha, thanks for trying the recipe. This recipe serves 2 people, so to make this for 20 people, you need to multiply all the ingredients by 10. When you make this in large quantity, it will take more time to cook. Taste the gravy at the end of each step and adjust the seasoning according to it.

Mar 06, 2015 by Chinmayi

Very nicely explained. It worked out very well for me.
Thank you so much.

Mar 03, 2015 by Deepanjali

I had tried this recipe, it was just so yummy.

Jan 31, 2015 by Ayush

How can we remove spices before blending?

Response: Just pick the whole spices (cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon and green cardamom) with a spoon from the gravy and remove them.

Can we use simple crushed onions instead of blanched onion? What is the difference?

Response: Yes Krishna, we can use simple crushed onions instead of blanched one.
The main difference between blanched onion and simple onion is cooking time. Blanched onion takes less time to turn light brown while cooking compared to raw onion (normal onion).

An awsome recipe !! Try it once. Thanks.

Sep 19, 2014 by Bharat

Wow! great recipe... This is the original recipe for Shahi Paneer and cashews. I just made a bit of difference to it.. Added paneer & cashews a little after I added onion so that they were a bit toasted as i like Paneer in fried form more than Plain cheese. Overall it was easy to follow the instructions and making it. Though it was my first time I was making any curry. Thanks a lot Yummy!

What is the difference between shahi paneer and Butter panner?

Response: Main difference between both is the gravy.
1. Shahi Paneer has mild sweet and spicy gravy of curd, tomato, cashew nuts, onion and fresh cream with lots of flavorful spices (coriander seeds, cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, green cardamom) and dissolved saffron strands (kesar).
2. While Paneer Butter Masala has mild tangy and spicy gravy of tomato, cashew nuts, onion and fresh cream with bay leaf. The amount of tomato used in this gravy is more than the other gravy, which makes it little tangy.
