FAQs on Punjabi Shahi Paneer Recipe
What can be served with Shahi paneer?
Serve Shahi Paneer with garlic naan, tandoori roti, laccha paratha, or Indian onion salad (aka pyaaj lachha) and salted lassi on the side, or you can go with plain, basmati rice, or jeera rice.
What can I use instead of cashews?
You can use almonds or melon seeds (Magaz seeds/magastari). You can add the almond flour or paste along with the water and simmer to make the gravy thick and more layered.
How to make Paneer taste fresh while preparing it beforehand?
Suppose you are making ahead of time for guests. Then do not add Paneer beforehand. At the time of serving, when you reheat, add Paneer. So Paneer stays soft.
What can I use instead of tomatoes?
You can substitute tomato with Yogurt in the same proportions. If adding tomatoes, add 2 to 3 tablespoons cream as it balances the acidity and tanginess of the tomatoes in your Shahi paneer masala.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
While this dish can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days in an airtight container, eating it right away is strongly advised because it tastes best when fresh and hot.
