Paneer Posta


Ingredients....

300 gram Paneer
4 tbsp Ghee
Salt to taste
⅓ tsp Turmeric powder
For paste.....

3 tbsp Poppy seeds
1 tbsp Cashew nuts 
2 tbsp Grated Coconut
6 Green chillies
4 Cardamom pods
1 bay leaf

Preparations.....


Take all the ingredients for blending and soak them in enough warm water for half an hour so that they soften up.

Along with the soaking water, blend them together until a fine paste is formed. If necessary, add water. Set aside.

Heat kadhai Add ghee; fry paneer cubes batch by batch in ghee until browned; remove and soak in water for better smoothing.
set aside.
Want to add potatoes fry them too.
In the same ghee, add the posta paste, turmeric powder, coriander leaves, green chillies and salt. Give it a good stir, and let the gravy reach a bubbling point. Cook on a low flame. 
Once the gravy is done, add the paneer with its soaking water. Yes, do not waste this water, so use little water for every step for perfect gravy. We don't need watery or runny gravy for this curry.
   Let it simmer slowly for 10 more minutes.

Serve with paratha, naan or roti. Enjoy the healthy version of paneer gravy.

Tips......

1)  Take 1 ladle of gravy in a bowl; take 1 or 2 fresh red chiles; mash them perfectly in this bowl; and then add this to the gravy after finishing up. The taste increased more than before.

2). You may also use kasuri methi, but I don't use garlic in this gravy, so I skip it. I always avoid using Kasuri methi from outside because they add garlic pods for preserving.

Homemade is okay.

3)  With the use of poppy seeds, cashews, and coconut, you should adjust the spiciness with fresh green and red chilies. Dry red chillies may change the colour and flavour.

4)  By skipping the poppy seeds, you may also add white, skinless sesame seeds. It has almost the same flavour. 

5) Coconut can make or break any curry. By taking ripe coconut, the paste still has a slight granularity, which hardens leaving oil after the curry is cooked. 
Remember 👉The softer the coconut, the tastier the curry. 
If you get the cream of tender coconut, then no tension at all.
