Instructions

  1. 1
    Cut paneer into 3/4-inch (3 cm) cubes. Optional: briefly sear in butter until golden brown for extra texture.
  2. 2
    Roughly dice onions and sauté in butter over medium heat for 8 minutes until golden brown.
  3. 3
    Add garlic-ginger paste (grated or blended), toast for 3 minutes.
  4. 4
    Sprinkle in Kashmiri chili, coriander, and cumin, toast for 1 minute.
  5. 5
    Add tomatoes, simmer 10–12 minutes until sauce reduces and turns deep red.
  6. 6
    Use an immersion blender to puree everything smooth — this creates the signature silky texture.
  7. 7
    Stir in cream and bring to a boil. Add paneer, let simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes.
  8. 8
    Stir in garam masala, methi, and sugar. Season with salt to taste.

    Plate in bowls. Top with a small dollop of cannabis ghee. Garnish with fresh coriander.

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.
