    We tried this recipe today. It came out so well Raks! Thanks a bunch. I have a question, when we bite the paneer, there is no juicyness inside the paneer. We kept it in kadai longer and followed all your tips on the recipe, but the inside of the paneer was a simple white. Is this how the paneer will look like? Tips pls.

    Reply

  • Sara

    infact the color and everything were exact copy of yours. But the paneer... it came out something like a paneer bhurji 🙁 ;(

    Reply

  • Sara

    Hi RK,
    The recipe came out well. But my paneer broke very badly. I need a tip from you on how to keep the paneer without breaking. Help pls.

    Reply

  • RAKS KITCHEN

    Sara,
    Did you used home made paneer? Because homemade panner have crumbly texture. Another reason could be you had immersed in boiling water or you must have boiled paneer in water for long time.

    Goddess,

    For paneer to be soft, keep immersed in hot water until you use.(DO not boil util use but,just keep immersed in hot water) at the time you need to add paneer, just drain and put. If you drain from water and keep then it can become hard.
    One more thing, sauteeing in pan for long time without water also can turn so.
    Select a good quality paneer. Kohinoor is very soft and good, try using that. Also one more tip is, after the paneer gets soft in water, you can try cutting it into small tiny pieces. So that you may not feel the paneer to be so bland. Hope I helped you a bit.

    Raks. What a detailed reply! You are literally teaching us all cooking :). Like it so much. Kohinoor paneer-will remember this and also your tips!

    Hi!
    I tried this recipe for dinner today and it came out very well. The idea of keeping paneer immersed in hot water made the paneer really soft, but the paneer got a bit crumbly after I started mixing it with the gravy(I probably cubed them very small).

    I like your blog very much (have bookmarked many recipes from your blog) and the way your recipes are written along with stepwise pictures are truly an inspiration for so many of us who want to learn traditional recipes. Thank you so much for this beautiful blog and Keep up the good work!!

    Hi!
    Today is the second time I am trying this recipe. It came out very well. paneer immersed in hot water made the paneer very soft and like that served in hotels. excellent recipe. the frying smell of crushed dhaniya + ginger garlic paste is just irresistible.

    hello Raks,
    I am going to try thid recipe today....
    just wanted to know the importance of kasoori methi in this recipe... is it ok if i avoid this?? or is there any substitute for it???

    Pooja

    Reply

  • RAKS KITCHEN

    Pooja, kasoori methi gives nice flavour and taste. Its nothing but dried fenugreek leaves, you can add roasted fenugreek/methi/vendhayam seeds powder, two three pinches or just add chopped coriander leaves!

    Hi I tried this receipe today but didnt looked the same. Actually after putting half cup water as told in step 4 and mixing it well the masala didnt get dry at all. I waited for the masala to get dry bt it didnt happen. So please give me a tip on how the masala becomes semi dry. Thanx in advance.

    Hi Raks! I was looking for a recipe for paneer other than the paneer mutter one. And, while browsing online, I chanced upon your website. Since, the recipe was simple and did not require me running to the grocery store, I took it down and made it the same day. 😀 And, I am happy to announce that it came out beautiful. So, thank you! Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I did some improvisation. I sauted and browned the paneer in a bit of oil before adding it to the mixture. It was YUM! Keep up the good work. - Rashmi Menon

    Yes you can dry roast the coriander seeds and powder it coarsely to add it. I know some may not like the whole seeds coming while eating. I like it, but even my hubby doesnot 🙂

    Hi Raks,
    I tried this recipe yesterday it tasted good but it came out different from the one shown in your blog or what I used to have outside. I did all of the steps mentioned but it turned out that the paneers cubs immersed in boiled water became soggy and when added to the main gravy oozed water and also when I mixed it broke it small pieces and finally ended up making Paneer Bhurji 🙁 when I served my friends one of them said I should have just roasted the paneer instead of immersing in boiled water. Look forward for your thoughts and advice. Thankfully the taste was good so all my friends liked it 🙂
