Paneer Recipes are usually hit with anyone and there are only least chances for anyone to say no to paneer.... Agree?! Paneer Korma / Kuruma - I already have a paneer white korma with vegetables but this is a altered version which is more flavourful, perfect as a side dish for rotis/phulkas or jeera rice.
Paneer Kuruma Recipe - IngredientsServes: 3Cooking Time: 45 mins
Paneer - 3/4 cup
Onion - 1 medium sized
Tomato - 1 medium sized
Turmeric powder - a generous pinch
Red Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
Fresh Cream - 1.5 tbsp
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
To temper:
Oil - 3 tsp
Cinnamon - 1/4 inch piece
Cloves - 2
Bayleaf - 1 small
Maze(Japthri) - 1 small(optional)
To grind to a paste:
Fresh grated coconut - 1/2 cup
Cashews - 8
Poppy seeds - 1/2 tsp
Fennel seeds - 1 tsp
Green Chillies - 2
Ginger - 1/4 inch piece
Garlic - 5
Method:
1.Grind the ingredients listed under 'to grind' to a fine paste.Set aside. Toast the paneer in ghee/oil till golden brown and set aside.
2.In a pan heat oil - add the ingredients listed under 'to temper' then add onions saute till golden brown then add tomato saute till mushy and raw smell leaves.
3.Add the coconut paste, add 1 cup of water, add turmeric, red chilli powder and garam masala powder and allow it to boil for good 5-10 mins or until oil separates.
4.Add cream and cook for 2mins Add toasted paneer, give a quick stir, sprinkle coriander leaves and switch off.
Serve it warm with soft phulka.
- Adding cream enhances the flavour and gives it a restaurant taste.
- You can even add paneer as such but I usually toast it.
- This goes well with rotis or even mild pulaos.
- You can also add any vegetables of your choice along with paneer.

I usually ignore kurmas for rotis..but this kurma has paneer in it, I guess I like it. Looks very creamy and like brown paneer cubes.

I added a tiny amount of cumin, substituted (full fat - it doesn't split when heated) Greek yoghurt, and let the paneer cubes cook until soft in the sauce as they can be rubbery when fried and added to sauce for just a very short time - just my preference. Superb!
