I come from a family that isn't very fond of the usual butter paneer, shahi paneer, paneer kofta, etc. So my mother-in-law tried adding mustard to paneer, and came up with shorshe/sarso paneer. I have recreated this dish, after having made a few changes. Check it out! :)

Steps

25 mins

1

Make 2 tablespoons of mustard paste. You can do this by either soaking packaged mustard powder in water for 10 mins, or soaking yellow mustard seeds in water for 15-20 mins and then making a paste in the mixer.
2

Chop the paneer into 1cm cubes.
3

To the mustard paste, add salt, curd, and green chillis. Mix well.
4

Pour this paste over the paneer cubes, and combine all the ingredients together. Leave aside.
5

In a nonstick wok (which has a fitting lid), pour in mustard oil. Heat it up.
6

Now add the onions, and sauté for 1-2 mins on medium heat. The onion should be lightly fried, and should not turn brown in color.
7

Finally add the marinated paneer cubes into the wok. Stir once, bring the heat down to sim, and then cover the wok with a lid. Leave for 4-5 mins.
8

Now open the lid. You will see that water from the curd has been released. Stir the paneer around. Add more salt if required. Cover once again, this time for 3-4 mins.
9

Open lid. Cook for 1-2 mins more. Turn off the heat. Shorshe Paneer is ready to be served with plain white rice!
