Shahi Paneer, a rich and creamy Indian dish, has a history as opulent as its taste. Originating in the Mughal kitchens, this regal delicacy was a favorite among the royals. The dish features succulent cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) simmered in a velvety tomato and cashew-based gravy, infused with aromatic spices like cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. The addition of extra cream elevates its luxurious texture and flavor. Renowned chefs like Sanjeev Kapoor and Vikas Khanna have popularized their versions of this dish, while restaurants in Delhi's Chandni Chowk and Mumbai's Mohammed Ali Road are celebrated for their authentic Shahi Paneer. For the best experience, ensure the paneer is soft and the gravy is rich and indulgent.
