Orange Paneer !


No, there are no oranges or any other fruit in this recipe - this is the name given to the dish by my 2Bs because of the colour of the gravy ! Palak paneer is green paneer for them !! And they prefer orange paneer :-)
So here's their favourite paneer curry and its easy ( otherwise I wouldnt make it so often ! ):

500 gms paneer cubes ( I use Taj's frozen paneer cubes, and find it really good)
1 tin - Indian style canned tomatoes ( grind it in a blender)
2 cloves garlic - thinly sliced
butter- 2tbsp
kasuri methi - 2 tbsp
kaju paste - 2 tbsp
saffron - a few strands ( soaked in a spoon of warm milk)
100ml - cream
chilli powder - as per taste
garam masala powder - 1 tsp
salt

Heat a pan on the stove top. add ghee and then add garlic. cook till light brown. add kasuri methi. stir for a second or two and then add the blended Indian Style tomato and half cup water. Let it come to a boil. Add kaju paste, saffron milk, chilli pdr, garam masal pdr, paneer and salt and cover and let it simmer for 10 mins. add cream now and simmer for 5 more mins. garnish with some chopped coriander. Thats it ! Oh yeah, we like to eat it with nice and hot rotis or paranthas :-)
