Dahi Wale Paneer – A Delicacy
This is something my sis D made some time back…how she came up with a recipe like this..no idea 🙂 ..but kudos to her..it was awesome and though it was to be eaten as a side dish / sabzi..i gobbled quite a bit like a starter.

Instructions
- In bowl, mix curd, paneer, 1/2 of all powdered masalas, salt, sugar.
- Cover the bowl with a plastic cover or foil and let it marinate in a fridge for 5-6 hours.
- After 5-6 hours, remove the paneer from the fridge and set it outside at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a kadai, add jeera, ginger - garlic paste, chopped onion and fry them till the paste loses its raw smell and the onion are brown in colour.
- Add the marinated paneer to the kadai, the ground whole masalas, bay leaf, remaining powdered masalas to the paneer and cook at low flame with lid closed for atleast 25-30 minutes.
- Cook till the raw smell of the spices is gone and the oil seperates out of the gravy.
- Once cooked, (switch off the flame) add cream and chopped coriander to the paneer and mix well.
- Serve hot with phulkas or like me eat it as it is like a starter 😉
