Paneer Kadai

Paneer Kadai is a vibrant North Indian curry where paneer cubes are cooked with onions, tomatoes, and capsicum in a robust kadai masala made by roasting and grinding whole spices like coriander seeds, dried red chilies, and cumin. The masala lends a deep, slightly smoky aroma and a coarse, clingy texture. Finished with kasuri methi and fresh coriander, it balances warmth, gentle heat, and tomato tang—perfect with naan, tandoori roti, laccha paratha, or jeera rice.
