Steps

40-45 mins

1

Grind gravy ingredients to smooth paste by adding very little water.
2

Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry paneer pieces till they turn golden brown on both sides.
3

Now keep the fried paneer pieces in a bowl of hot water. This helps in keeping the paneer pieces soft.
4

Heat oil in another pan and add bay leaf and onion. Fry them on medium flame until they turn golden brown.
5

Now mix in ginger-garlic paste and sauté them till its raw smell disappears.
6

Now add turmeric powder and cumin powder. Mix well.
7

Next, add the coconut-cashew nut-coriander paste that we've made and fry for 3-4 mins on medium flame till the oil separates.
8

Now add milk in it. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook the gravy for about 7-8 minutes.
9

Once the gravy is cooked then add green peas, shallow fried paneer, and salt. Mix well.
10

Then, add about a cup of water to get the desired consistency of the gravy. Let the curry simmer for about 6-7 minutes for all the flavors to blend well.
11

Finally add coriander leaves and garam masala. Mix well.

Serve this absolutely delicious creamy nawabi paneer with naan or rice.
