Indian Cottage cheese cooked in a creamy black pepper sauce makes a delicious and popular Indian dish called Paneer Kali Mirch, a savory journey of flavors.

‘Paneer’ means an indian cottage cheese and ‘Kali Mirch’ is Hindi word for ‘Black pepper’. So the name “Paneer Kali Mirch” translates to “paneer with black pepper” in English.

This is such a flavorful, creamy and mild dish with the bold flavor of black pepper.

Paneer is such an ingredient with which number of experiments has been done so far and that is why there are so many great paneer dishes. Paneer has such a versatile character that it gets attracted to the spices and gravy with which it is cooked. This is all due to the fact that paneer has the ability to absorb the flavors.

Black pepper, the another prime ingredient of the recipe is no less fascinating. Known as the “King of Spices,” black pepper has been treasured for centuries for its bold, pungent flavor and curative properties.

In Paneer Kali Mirch, instead of readymade black pepper powder, prefer to use freshly roasted and ground pepper for creating a spicy and aromatic base.

As paneer is the prime ingredient in all the paneer dishes, so what makes the one dish from another is it’s gravy.

Paneer Kali Mirch is one such paneer dish known for its rich and aromatic gravy. The star of this dish is the creamy black pepper-infused gravy that coats tender cubes of paneer.

To prepare the gravy, richness of cashews, warmth of ginger and garlic, subtle sweetness of onion, mild spiciness of green chilli, lusciousness from cream and yoghurt is well combined with the deep flavoured spices. But the real fire comes from the black peppercorns themselves, which are roasted and then coarsely crushed and generously added to the dish.

The creaminess of the paneer and the spiciness of the black pepper are harmoniously tamed by this velvety sauce, creating a dish that is both comforting and exciting to the taste buds.

Paneer Kali Mirch is more than just a dish; it’s an experience. It’s a dish that offers layers of taste and a journey of hot shots that culminate in a delightful culinary climax.

So, the next time you crave a taste of India’s culinary magic, consider indulging in the aromatic embrace of Paneer Kali Mirch.

Paneer Kali mirch can be served with rice or roti but it tastes best with naan or paratha.
