KADHAI PANEER

Kadhai Paneer (also spelled Karahi Paneer) is a vibrant and flavorful North Indian vegetarian dish featuring paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and bell peppers (capsicum), cooked with a robust, freshly-ground spice blend known as kadhai masala .

🌶️ What Makes It Unique

• Named after the kadhai or karahi, a deep, rounded wok used in Indian cooking—you can also prepare it in a regular pan without issue

• Kadhai masala is key: a coarse spice blend made by roasting whole coriander seeds, dried red chilies, cumin, fennel, peppercorns, and sometimes cardamom and cloves

• The dish comes in two main variants: gravy-style, which is saucy and pairs with rice or naan, and semi-dry, stir-fried with just enough sauce to coat each ingredient
