Ingredients

Directions

  1. Make the Masala: Heat oil and butter in a pan over medium heat. Add cardamom, cloves, and bay leaf. Once fragrant, add chopped onions and saute until translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and garam masala powder. Cook for a minute, then add the diced tomatoes. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
  2. Blend and Prepare Paneer: In a blender, puree the cashew nuts and a ladleful of the gravy to create a smooth paste. Add the paste back to the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add salt to taste and turn off the heat.
  3. Assemble and Serve: Gently stir in the cubed paneer cheese and heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot with rice or naan.
