    About Kadai Paneer

    This Kadai Paneer is uniquely flavoured with freshly ground masala making it stand apart from the regular paneer dishes. This can be made 2 ways semi dry and gravy. Both the versions tastes great which I have already posted. This is a smoked version of kadai paneer as we taste in restaurants.

    This can be made in a number of ways. Here is an easy version I often make at home mostly for dinner which hubby and kids love it.

    What is Kadai Paneer?

    Kadai Paneer is a simple fragrant gravy made with paneer, capsicum and onion tomato base along with a freshly ground spice mix. The dish gets its name as it is made in a special indian wok called kadai. Kadai is one of the basic  kitchen essential cookware in any Indian kitchen. Though you can cook kadai paneer is pans also kadai is the best option.

    How to make Kadai Paneer?

    To begin with first marinade paneer with the basic spice powders. Toast the paneer and set aside. Next add capsicum, onion, toast for 2 mins then set aside.

    First in a kadai dry roast coriander seeds with red chillies until its aromatic, remove then add onion, tomato saute until mushy. Add sauted onion, tomato along with coriander, red chillies and grind it to a fine paste along with required water. Heat oil – temper jeera, add ginger garlc paste saute for a minute then add the paste boil it along with salt. Boil for few mins then add roasted onion, capsicum and paneer. Mix it then add fresh, kasoori methi and coriander leaves. Place a bowl with smoked charcoal, add ghee to it and close tightly with lid. Open and your flavourful smoked kadai paneer is ready!

    Kadai Paneer 2 ways

    • Kadai Paneer Dry – Kadai Paneer dry is made by cooking onion, tomatoes and capsicum cubes.
    • Kadai Paneer Gravy – To make Kadai Paneer Gravy, tomato puree is added and simmered along with paneer cubes, onion and capsicum.

    Kadai Paneer Masala

    Kadai masala is made by grinding a special spice mix which has red chillies and coriander. I used kashmiri red chillies to get a vibrant and appetizing color. Roasting and grinding the spices gives it a nice flavour and taste to the gravy. Usually coriander seeds and red chillies are grind seperately but this time I roasted and added it along with onion tomato, it was not only easy but the paste was smooth adding more taste to the gravy too. This masala is so flavourful that you need not add garama masala too.

    Notes

    • Toasting onion, capsicum and adding it at the final stage retains the crunch. Do not add and boil for more time then it will become soft and ruin the taste.
    • Also add kashmiri red chillies for more bright color.
    • Use tofu instead of paneer for a vegan option.
    • Garnish with ginger julienne if you like the flavour.
    • I added green capsicum, you can add a mix of color capsicum too as per your liking.
      Use tomatoes that are ripe.

    2. Heat half a tsp of oil, add cubed paneer and toast it until it turns golden brown. Transfer the toasted paneer to hot water for 5mins, drain and keep aside(this is to retain the softness of the paneer). Heat remaining oil in a pan, add green chillies and ginger garlic paste saute for a minute.

    Tips

    • This is semidry kadai paneer.It is thick but not dry its saucy that it can pair with chapathi or even with rice.
    • Kadai paneer can be made gravy kind too by adding 2 more tomatoes and switching off when the gravy consistency is reached.
    • Dont skip the kasoori methi as it gives a nice and unique flavour to the gravy.

    Tips

    • This is medium spicy with the measurement I have given. You can adjust according to your taste buds.
    • Adding cream gives a creamy and rich restaurant flavour.I used homemade fresh cream.
    • The consistency should be flowing and creamy.
    • You can add half and half milk and fresh cream.
    • Toasting capsicum, onion and adding at the final stage gives a nice crunch as in restaurants.
    • You can make the spice powder and store it but freshly ground spice mix gives great flavour.
    • I used homemade paneer so it was very soft and absorbed the flavour well.

      Hi!! I had chanced upon you site while searching for an easy recipe for Kadhai Paneer since i was hosting a lunch party at my place. The recipe came out great post a few modifications ( like extra red chilly and a dollop of butter as we Punjabi's love butter and chilly). It was a big hit among the guests and i was showered with lots of praise since it tasted just like it does at the restaurant 🙂
      A BIG thanks from my side for posting such an easy to make recipe 🙂
      Thanks a ton!!!

      I new to Kitchen and have no idea about spices what so ever. Your recipe looks great and it is a great help for amateurs like me. I was just wondering what if I add a bit of cream to this? how will the taste or look be?

      @Soma : It is a dru curry, so if you want to add cream make it gravy kind and add it, no worries at all cream will add a richer taste only 🙂

      Hello There,

      1st of all we r thankful for the process with images, we cooked the same way but didn't used capsicum and it was good.

      As we are all boys live on sharing biases and it made our lunch wonderful.

      Thanks Once again.

      Made it and as usual turned out super yummy! I loved the fact that I didn't have to powder the coriander seeds n red chillies in a mortar pestle. I'm too lazy for that 🙂
