Kadai Paneer is a popular paneer recipe where paneer and bell peppers are cooked in a spicy masala.
It is one of the most popular paneer recipes. It’s there on the menu in almost all Indian restaurants. I remember always ordering it when we ate out.
Kadai is a like a wok commonly used in Indian cooking. We use it to make stir fry and all sorts of things. We also use it for deep frying snacks and sweets.
This dish is called Kadai Paneer because it’s cooked in a kadai. But if you don’t have a kadai you can simply use a wok or any other pan. I actually did not make it in a kadai!
Kadai paneer is a vibrant and flavorful Indian dish that showcases the rich culinary traditions of North India. It features succulent cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked in a fiery tomato-based gravy, infused with a medley of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. The dish derives its name from the "kadai," a deep-bottomed wok traditionally used for its preparation. Bell peppers are often added to the dish, contributing to its vibrant color and slightly sweet flavor. Kadai paneer is typically served with naan, roti, or jeera rice, creating a hearty and satisfying meal that tantalizes the taste buds with its bold flavors and aromatic spices.
