No Butter Kadahi Paneer Recipe


kadahi paneer
Kadahi paneer is loved by one and all. It is rich, creamy gravy with dipped paneer cubes. This delicacy makes a complete meal with plain roti, tandoori roti, or naan. As usual, I have prepared kadahi paneer, sans the creamy part. Rather, I have substituted butter and cream with almond- curd paste.

To me, my version tastes divine, even without the usual kadahi paneer ingredients. Happy me!















 Kadahi Paneer Ingredients
Paneer- 250 gram
4 onions
2 tomatoes (puree)
1 capsicum or more
Ginger-garlic paste- 1tbsp
kadahi masala- 1 tbsp
curd- 1/4 cup
almonds-10
jeera- 1 tsp
kasuri methi- for garnishing
Oil- 1 tbsp
Water or milk for gravy
cinnamon (dalchini)- 1 small

These are some of the questions that have been asked every now and then. So in this video from the Odia cuisine, I present to you Odisha special Pakhala - the ancient Odia tradition of fermenting rice. Now coming back to making Pakhala at home. I dedicate this video to my mother-in-law, who has taught me some simple ways to ferment rice with and without curd.  The idea is to cook rice in water, primarily you will need to boil rice in a lot of water.

Since we want to ferment rice, the idea is to leave it overnight at room temperature - ideally in a cool location, which is not too hot.  By next morning, the rice should have fermented - teeming with colonies of healthy bacteria. If you use brown rice...
