Shahi Paneer

Unnati Bhavsar

Shahi Paneer is a rich and creamy North Indian curry made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked in a royal-style gravy. The word "Shahi" means royal, and this dish truly lives up to its name with the use of ingredients like cashew nuts, cream, aromatic spices, and sometimes saffron. Traditionally served in Mughlai cuisine, Shahi Paneer is mildly spiced, slightly sweet, and has a smooth, luxurious texture. It is often enjoyed with naan, roti, or rice and is a popular choice at Indian weddings, festivals, and special occasions.
