A rich, creamy, and mildly spiced Indian curry that feels indulgent yet comforting, perfect for special occasions or a cozy homemade meal.

Like most kids, my girls love cheese in any form, especially paneer, and hence it’s cooked often in our home.

Notes

If you would like to serve this with rice, I recommend adding at least another cup of water to ensure there is more liquid in the curry. You can adjust the desired consistency simply by adding more water.

Kasuri methi (Dried fenugreek leaves) adds a little extra flavour to the recipe but can be omitted if you don’t have them.
