Methi Malayi Paneer : With no Malayi :).. My 50th Post

Paneer is one thing that we can have every day without complaints, I haven’t seen anyone in my life who doesn’t like this form of Indian Cheese (as they say!) .  I always keep a batch of homemade Paneer in the freezer for the days when we don’t want to have anything too heavy or full of vegetables. Although we always end up eating too much of it, which keeps us full for the next three days almost, but that’s another thing. And the best part is, it’s just one little simple thing but is so versatile that it can be used in almost all the forms and cuisines. Be it Paneer based Desserts, stuffings, or savoury dishes, it won’t be incorrect to call it the heart of Vegetarian dishes.  

I am sure everyone is aware of the health benefits it imparts, Apart from being  rich in calcium and protein, it is also a good source of vitamins and yes fats too… but good ones..  I usually prepare Paneer at home with skimmed milk, but that works best for Bhurji  ( Crumbled ) dishes and doesn’t go well with curries. So for this Methi Maalyi Paneer, I used whole milk and not any  other variety which resulted in the softest Paneer.





So I was looking for the options for dinner tonight and got a big bunch of Fenugreek leaves in hand. While I was still thinking if I should go for Methi aalu or Theplas with this bunch, S peeped into my Bookmarked blogs and his third eye got stuck on something made up of paneer, and once he has got Paneer in his mind it’s difficult to please him with any other  curry.  Paneer that too with the aromatic Methi, couldn’t think of anything better to celebrate my 50th post :)




This Methi Malayi Paneer recipe, I have got it from a Dhaba in Delhi at a place called Saket. It was a very small Dhaba at the corner and  its Adraki Dhaniya Paneer and this Methi Malayi Paneer were outstanding !! They used to make this dish with a lot of Cream but here I have tried it with yogurt and milk combo  with some corn flour to make it low fat. With just one tea spoon of cream for that extra finish, this recipe calls for an award really ! . An easy yet rich recipe... :)

A real Party dish thsi one is, try it before hand so you get to know the right consistancy



Ingredients :
1 cup Paneer cubes
1 cup Green peas, boiled
1 cup chopped Coriander
2 tbsp of Kasuri Methi
1/2 cup of yogurt
1 cup Whole Milk
1 tsp Double cream
1 large onion, chopped

2 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
1 tsp each Salt, black pepper, red chili powder and turmeric
1 tsp Oil
2 green chilies, chopped
1 tsp Cornflour


Method:
Heat oil in a pan and fry ginger-garlic paste in it till brown,
Add onion and green chilies and saute for 3-4 min. I like my onion to be properly fried and perfectly pinkish brown. It enhances the taste of the dish


Add spices and cook covered for a min so that onion absorb the flavors.
Add paneer and peas. Cook covered for 5-6 min stirring in between.


Now, add cornflour to the yogurt and pour in this mixture to the pan. This is done to avoid curdling of yogurt while mixing with gravy. Keep the flame low and simmer for 8-10 minutes untill its properly blended with the spices.
Add Kasuri Methi and chopped Coriander and combine everything together.
Add milk and stir well. Bring it to boil and then simmer for 8-10 minutes stirring in between. This should form a thick gravy by now.


Check the spices and adjust acc to taste. Turn off the flame.
Just before serving, spread double cream on top and let it sit covered for 2 min. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.



Notes from my kitchen :
1. I have used green peas in this recipe. You can totally avoid them and increase the quantity of paneer.
2. Usage of double cream is also optional and can be omitted.
3. Lots of coriander enhances the flavour of this dish, hence be generous with fresh greens here
