I am always looking for new recipes to try. Last week my sister said she made Paneer Korma. It is a simple recipe and easy to make. I made this over the weekend. Recipe adapted from Ranveer Brar.

2 Cups chopped tomato

1 inch cinnamon

1 clove

2 bay leaves

1/2 cup cashew nuts

1/4 cup almonds

2 Tablespoons poppy seeds

2 Cups cubed paneer

2 teaspoons red chili powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/4 teaspoon garam masala

salt to taste

1/4 cup plain yogurt

2 Tablespoon water

                                   

                                                             

Method:

1. Dry roast poppy seeds. Set aside.

2. Fry cinnamon, clove, bay leaves, cashew nuts and almonds in 2 teaspoons ghee. Set aside.

3.In the same pan, sauté onion and tomato. 

4. Allow everything to cool and grind to a paste. 

                                                                

5. Heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a large pan on medium heat. Add paste.  Add turmeric powder, chili powder and salt. Add water as required. Cover and cook on low medium heat for 5-9 minutes, until raw smell leaves. 

                                                                

6. Add paneer and cook for 5 minutes. Mix yogurt with 2 tablespoons water. Stir this into the korma. Cook for a couple minutes.
