Pro Tips
- Methi (fenugreek leaves) is the secret to authentic restaurant-style paneer — available at Asian markets.
- Blending the sauce after the tomatoes reduce makes a huge difference in texture.
- Cannabis ghee and paneer masala: ghee is traditionally used as a finish in Indian cuisine — it pairs perfectly.
- For vegan version: use tofu instead of paneer, Oatly Cuisine instead of cream.
