Shahi Paneer Curry with Cumin Rice

This dish is a right royal affair (shahi means royal). Paneer is Indian cottage cheese and one of the most popular vegetarian ingredients in India. You will rarely find an Indian buffet without at least one paneer dish. Soft paneer cubes dunked in a thick and creamy sauce made with butter, cream, onion, tomatoes, and exquisite spices like cashews, cardamom and saffron to name a few. Shahi paneer pairs beautifully with jeera (cumin) rice.

Delicious rice and fruity medium chrry

The rice was delicious and the curry was medium with a fruity flavour (to me anyway. A dry curry, pick an appropriate accompaniment. As I was hungry I ate a large serving was hit the spot.

Very Spicy

(Hot). Not sure I was able to appreciate the cumin rice as the sauce was so hot that I would probably have preferred plain basmati rice. Didn’t have much paneer so for me the meal wasn’t particularly good value for money at nearly £8 for a single portion. Won’t likely replace my butter chicken as a regular meal.

Nice

Really nice flavour but can't never get the re heating right. One time the paneer as mushy, the second time there was water left. Hopefully I will be third time lucky

My Review

Made with love and passion and very aromatic with lots of lovely spices and flavours coming through, it would have been lovely to have a equal amount of curry to the rice ,the rice was lovely, it was just there is more rice than the curry, I would absolutely recommend and order again.
