Paneer could be my favourite ingredients to cook with. It’s versatile, you can do so much with it. Malai Methi Paneer is one such recipe I pride on. It’s tasty, it’s creamy, it’s unique and so so easy to get right, even for a invoice cook.
Plus everyone loves paneer, you don’t have to be a vegetarian only 😄
Directions to make Methi Malai Paneer-
A simple paneer gravy recope Methi malai paneer is loved in most indian homes. Serve with Roti.

In a mixer grinder blend onion, ginger, garlic and tomatoes into a fine paste.

Now in a pressure cokker heat 4-5 tbsp oil cook the masala untill its cooked and the oil leaves the sides. If in between it sticks to the bottom add some water.
-
Add all the spices and salt at once. Cook for another 30 sec for them to cook properly.

Now add the paneer cubes. I like to leave them with the masala for a while to roast.
-
Then add enough water that the paneer is covered and pressure cook 1 whistle and then on simmer for 5-7 min. Switch off the flame and let it realase the steam itself.
-
After pressure is realeased add kasturi methi and fresh cream. If requied cook for another 2 mins and its done.
