• 1/4 tsp Orco organic garam masala
• 3/4 tsp Salt or to taste
• 1 tbsp green coriander (finely chopped)

Steps:

1. Soak the cashews in water for half an hour before grounding them into a fine paste. Cut the paneer slab into square chunks of required size.
2. Grind tomatoes, ginger and green chili in a mixer grinder to make a paste. Pour the paste in a bowl.
3. Heat ghee in a pan or ‘kadhai.’ When ghee is hot, add cumin seeds and sauté them for a couple of minutes. Add turmeric powder and coriander powder. Sauté for few minutes and then add the tomato paste.
4. Stir constantly in medium flame and sauté the ingredients. At this point, add garam masala, shahi paneer masala and further cook for some time.
5. Now it’s time to add cashew paste and malai to the masala and sauté until oil starts separating from it.
6. Add water as desired to make gravy or required consistency. Also, add salt and red chili powder according to taste.
7. When the gravy starts simmering, drop the paneer chunks and cook on low flame for 3 to 4 minutes so that paneer chunks absorb all the spices. Shahi paneer sabzi is now ready, turn off the flame and add some green coriander to garnish.
