Reshmi paneer recipe | Reshmi paneer masala restaurant style with step wise pictorial and video method.

Reshmi is a Hindi word which means smooth and soft and this is such a recipe very true to it’s name.

The gravy of this recipe is of such a velvety texture that it will just melt in your mouth.

Made by using least spices, this is one of the most rich paneer recipe in addition to Paneer Nazakat recipe, Shahi Paneer Korma, Paneer Kali Mirch recipe restaurant style, Paneer Afgani recipe & Paneer Lababdar.

As most of the paneer recipes are similar in one way or the others, like mostly ask for onion, tomatoes, cashew paste, spices and cream but this recipe is still different in many ways.

It has bell pepper and that too cut in Juliennes. Likewise tomato and onion was also cut similarly.

These were left partly cooked for a crunchy bite in the extra creamy recipe.

Most panner recipes do use spices like green cardamoms, black cardamom, star anise, mace, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves but this recipe has none of this and still it is highly rich in taste.

Actually this reshmi paneer is getting all it’s richness from gravy as it is basically a gravy based recipe.

The ingredients and making process of reshmi paneer is almost similar to paneer jalfrezi except the gravy.

Paneer jalfrezi is the dry version of Reshmi Paneer. Reshmi paneer gets all its richness and gravy from tomato paste, cashew paste, curd, cream and khoya.

Rest the spices are just red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt and garam masala.

Also, some of the people make this reshmi paneer by frying the paneer pieces but we have added them without frying. As to us, non fried paneer gives this recipe more of the creaminess, making it reshmi in the real sense of the term.

So, in case you are looking for something different to eat or some prime guests are on the roll, go for this delicious and lip smacking recipe.
