The creamy paneer gravy recipe is a very simple and easy-to-make recipe. It tastes great along with any Indian flatbread like roti, paratha, or naan.
About Creamy Paneer Gravy Recipe:
Creamy Paneer Gravy is one of the tasty paneer curry recipes, that goes really well along with paratha, poori, roti, or naan. The thick and creamy texture of this recipe makes you eat more chapati or poori.
I have often encountered this situation in most restaurants. Pick up a menu card and search for vegetarian recipes and you will find only a few choices.
While most of it will be something made out of Paneer, the rest are either cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms, or, baby corn. And this is best seen in the case of starters where the choices are limited.
Whatever it is, I and my little daughter has come to like paneer a lot. And for us the best substitute for the chicken that my husband orders every time we go to a restaurant is paneer. And that is probably why I like experimenting with paneer recipes a lot.
Today’s recipe is also an experiment. In fact, this is an experiment that I tried a few times. But this time round it came out really well and I thought I will post it for you all.
While the masalas in this recipe give it the flavor it needs, the cream that we use in it reduces the spice and gives it a nice taste like that of paneer butter masala. Try it and I am sure you and your family will like it.
