STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF DAHI WALA PANEER RECIPE

MARINATION OF PANEER

Take a flat tray or plate and add mustard oil, salt, kashmiri red chilli powder and kasuri methi. Mix well.

Add paneer & coat the paneer from all sides. Leave aside for 15-20 minutes. We left paneer in refrigerator.

PREPARATION OF CURD MIXTURE

Take curd in a bowl and add black salt, salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, roasted cumin powder, garam masala and gram flour/besan.

Whisk well and keep in refrigerator till needed.

ROASTING OF PANEER

Firstly heat a pan. Heating of pan is highly important before roasting paneer, otherwise paneer sticks to the cold pan. Arrange paneer pieces. As paneer already have oil, no need of adding additional oil.

Roast the paneer pieces from both the sides until they got good grilled marks.

Take the paneer out.

In the same pan, add desi ghee and further add cumin seeds, dry red chilies and black cardamom. Saute till cumin splutter.

Add curd mixture and start whisking immediately otherwise curd may curdle. Curd needs to be whisked until it begins to boil.

Let curd boil and come to the point where ghee is seen separating from curd.

Here you have to add paneer pieces to the curd. As we had to decorate it for photography purpose as well, we spread the curd gravy in a serving plate.

Arrange the paneer pieces over the curd gravy.

Decorate with creamy curd and dry mint leaves.

Enjoy with chapati, rice or paratha. We served it with dahi wala paratha.

NOTES

In place of besan, you can add cashew or melons seeds paste or mix of both. Just soak 2 tbsp cashews or melon seeds or both 50:50 for 10-15 minutes and then grind with 2-3 tbsp of water.

Creamy curd is nothing but a tablespoon of thick curd which is whisked to creamy texture.
