Two weeks back when bought a a paneer packet , i saw the recipe of Shahi paneer behind the cover and i thought i will give it a try. Believe me, it turned out extremely well and it was a super hit among all. I can say this is a restaurant style Paneer recipe. Do try this paneer recipe at home and enjoy.

Method:

- In a non stick  pan add few drops of oil. Saute the paneer cubes till golden brown.
- This step is optional but it tasted very nice.
- Grind the onions , ginger, garlic ,green chilli along with tomato puree. If adding tomato add 1 tomato.
- Grind into a smooth paste.
- In a pan add oil and add the ground paste. Saute in a low flame without getting this burnt.
