Instructions
 

Making of paneer dough

  • Take a bowl and add paneer. Make sure paneer shouldn't be too much watery. Also add salt, black pepper & maida.
  • Knead it into a tight dough. You can add more maida if the dough is still loose. Keep aside.

Making of stuffing and part of gravy

  • In a pan add oil and then butter & put on low flame.
  • When butter melts, add cumin seeds, bay leaf, coriander seeds & cloves. Let cumin seeds splutter.
  • Add ginger and garlic & saute till they slightly turn their colour.
  • Add roughly chopped onion and saute.
  • When onion is half way cooked, add cashews and melon seeds. Saute till onion turns translucent & slightly pink.
  • Add red chilli powder and turmeric. Mix.
  • Add roughly chopped tomatoes, salt and 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. While adding salt, beware you have salt in paneer dough too.
  • Cover the pan & let tomatoes cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. In a mid way, if you find that all water has dried up but tomatoes aren't cooked properly, add a spoon or two of more water & cook for more time.
  • When tomatoes turn soft and mushy, off the flame and let mixture turn cool.
  • Grind the mixture into a paste. Keep aside.

Making of paneer rolls

  • Take a big ball size paneer dough and place it on a clean platform dusted with maida. Dust some maida on ball too. If you have a wide platform, you can take entire dough in one go.
  • Flatten it into a disc with the help of a rolling pin. The thickness of disc should neither be too thick nor too thin.
  • Remove the uneven edges of flattened paneer disc using knife or pizza cutter.
  • Cut the rectangular disk into long strips with about 2 inches width.
  • Take a spoonful of masala paste from grinder & spread on all sides of paneer strips. Hardly 2 to 3 tablespoons of masala paste will be used for stuffing and you still have much masala left in grinder. Keep this. We are going to use it while making gravy.
  • Hold one strip carefully & fold it gently into a roll. Likewise make more rolls with the entire paneer dough. Keep these paneer rolls aside.

Process of completing sabzi

  • Add a tsp of butter in the same pan in which masala was earlier prepared.
  • Transfer rest of the masala paste from grinder to the pan.
  • Saute for couple of seconds and then add whisked curd in it.
  • Immediately start whipping the curd otherwise it may curdle. Whip for at least a minute.
  • Let curd cook for about 5 minutes on low heat.
  • Add garam masala & kasuri methi and mix.
  • Now drop paneer rolls by holding softly.
  • Cover the pan with a lid & let it simmer for 2 minutes on lowest minimum heat.
  • After 2 minutes, change the side of rolls & again simmer for 2 minutes with a lid on.
  • Add coriander leaves. You may add cream at this stage, however we didn't.
  • Your shahi paneer rolls sabzi is ready. Enjoy with fulka, naan or paratha.
