Shahi Paneer โ เคถเคพเคนเฅ เคชเคจเฅเคฐ: As the name implies, this dish is shahi (royal). The Shahi Paneer Recipe gets its royal name from ingredients such as dry fruits, fresh cream, cottage cheese, butter, and curd. All these ingredients give the dish its rich and royal taste.
I love its creamy taste. If you prefer it less creamy, reduce the fresh cream from ยผ cup to 2 tbsp, but donโt remove it from the recipe. Without cream, this dish is not the same, so donโt skip this important ingredient.
