When you go to a restaurant and wish to order a dish that everyone will like, Kadai Paneer is one of the first options that is voted for!

This all-time favourite paneer dish is so popular because of the rich texture and intense flavour of the gravy, which results from the interplay of ingredients like tomato puree and fresh cream with veggies like onion and capsicum, not to forget a whole lot of spice powders including garam masala and dried fenugreek leaves.

This gravy gives the paneer a beautiful base to rest on and show off its succulent texture. Enjoy the Kadai Paneer hot, with a garnish of fresh coriander!

Baby Corn Masala , Baingan Bhurta , Bhojpuri Aloo , Dahiwale Simla Mirch and Kadhai Khumbh Subzi are a few other subzis you can cook in a microwave.

Only the gravy will last if you put it in a air tight container and freeze it. Cannot add the paneer and cream to it.
