Review – This one is super tasty and will have you licking your fingers till the end. The casting of the fierce and handsome Kashmiri Masala enhanced all the action sequences and the purity and innocence of the Valley of Kashmir was beautifully depicted through the delicate and fair and beautiful female lead, Paneer. The movie is threaded together by the Kashmiri Paneer’s father; Dry Fruit Pulao, who brings a lot of depth and texture to the film. Overall the aromas, spice and flavour enhance the beauty and brilliance of this talkie.
Please try making this at the comfort of your home, we can guarantee you, you will have a full house.

500 grams paneer, cut into 2-inch x 1½-inch x ¼-inch pieces
vegetable oil, to fry
5 green cardamom pods

Method :
Place a kadhai on high heat; add oil to deep fry. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, slide in paneer and fry till light golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.

Lift the paneer with a slotted spoon to drain and remove. Set aside. Do this in batches without crowding the kadhai. Reserve oil and clean kadhai.
Place kadhai back on high heat and toss in the whole spices – green cardamom, black cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, and cinnamon – and dry roast for about a minute. Pour in 6 tablespoons reserved oil and stir well; add ginger and garlic pastes, and stir continuously till lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add red chilli powder, dried ginger powder (sonth), and ¼ cup water; stir and continue to cook till oil leaves the masala, about 2 minutes.
Add tomato puree and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Toss in fennel powder (saunf) and add 1 tablespoon water; cook for another 5 to 6 minutes. Pour in 500 ml water, stir well to mix, then slide in fried paneer, followed by garam masala powder and salt. Stir gently, then cover and cook for about 3 minutes. Remove lid and simmer till the gravy has thickened to coating consistency, 10 to 15 minutes.
