Paneer Korma Recipe ( Mughlai ) - Paneer Recipes

 

Paneer Korma recipe was in my try list for long time.So I tried it last week for Sendhil & Raksha’s Lunch box as a side dish for roti.Actually I was looking for a paneer korma without coconut.But I found this recipe with curd,cashews & coconut masala in Mughlai style.I found it interesting and prepared it by making small changes in the actual recipe to suit our taste buds.It came out really well with a restaurant touch.This gravy also goes well for Pulao & ghee rice.The most important thing in this korma is that curd should be fresh & not sour at all else it will spoil the taste of this gravy.So friends,if you have fresh curd & paneer in hand,go ahead with this recipe.It tastes yum.Soon I will try to share a paneer masala korma with tomato base.Now lets see how to make this Indian Paneer Korma recipe with coconut .
