Paneer Reshmi Handi is a popular vegetarian dish in Pakistani and Indian cuisine that features soft and creamy paneer (cottage cheese) cooked in a rich and flavorful gravy. The dish gets its name from the “resham” or silky texture of the gravy, which is achieved through the use of cashew nuts and cream.
To make Paneer Reshmi Handi, paneer cubes are first marinated in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and spices such as cumin, coriander, and garam masala. The marinated paneer is then sautéed in a pan until lightly browned and set aside.
In the same pan, a rich gravy is prepared using onions, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices. The cashew nuts and cream are added to the gravy, giving it a smooth and creamy texture. The sautéed paneer is then added to the gravy and simmered until it is fully cooked and infused with the flavors of the spices and the rich, silky gravy.
Paneer Reshmi Handi is typically served hot with naan bread or steamed rice, and is garnished with fresh coriander leaves. This dish is loved by vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike and is a great option for those who enjoy rich and flavorful Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
