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.

  19. 1 tspsugar
  20. 1 tbspKasuri methi
  21. cashew paste
  22. 3 tbspunsalted cashews
  23. 1hot water

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Melt butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add chopped oniona and cook until lightly browned. About 10 mins.

  3. 3

    Add ginger and garlic. Cook for another 2 to 3 mins

  4. 4

    Reduce heat and add tomato sauce, cashew paste and all of the dry seasoning except for the sugar. Stir until combined.

  5. 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. 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. 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
