Paneer mahkni

I love paneer mahkni but have never been able to replicate the restaurant versions. I have been experimenting over the years with different ingredients and techniques. In my opinion, this is as close as it gets to restaurant quality paneer mahkni. I hope you enjoy my creation.
**healthier variation**
If you want a lower calorie version you can substitue the cream and milk for 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk and use tofu instead of paneer. It still tastes great.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Start by making the cashew paste. Soak cashews in just enough hot water to cover them for at least 15 mins. Then puree until smooth (I use a coffee grinder). Set aside.
- 2
Melt butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add chopped oniona and cook until lightly browned. About 10 mins.
- 3
Add ginger and garlic. Cook for another 2 to 3 mins
- 4
Reduce heat and add tomato sauce, cashew paste and all of the dry seasoning except for the sugar. Stir until combined.
- 5
Using a blender or immersion blender (I find a regular blender works best) puree the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a thicker or chunkier texture you can blend until your desired consistency.
- 6
Add milk, heavy cream, sugar and paneer. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 5 to 10 mins
- 7
Turn off heat and add Kasuri methi. Recipe says 1 tbsp but add as much as you like, I usually add more. You're now done! Serve with naan or rice

My dad has been taking us for Northern Indian cuisine since I can remember. Our favorite restaurant was Pakeeza's at Right Angle in Seksyen 14, which is still there and it’s my turn now to take him and my mum whenever I visit home. A must-order would be the palak paneer... the type with palak you can chew rather than made into a paste. So this first attempt follows that memory of the dish being chunky instead of saucey. 😊 The Boggler -

I love paneer cubes dipped in spinach sauce (and frankly who doesn't!). One of my best friends from my past life in Michigan (shout out to the one and only Vaibhav Sharma ladies and gentlemen) cooked it during a couple of get togethers (he is a pro!). Hence, I took up the challenge of perfecting it myself. This one in the honor of Vaibhav and numerous occasions he has cooked it for me. Sunpreet Singh Arora -
