About Our Shahi Paneer
Shahi Paneer, meaning "Royal Paneer," is a dish fit for kings, and our version lives up to its name. At
Aashirwaad Sweets And Restaurant, we prepare this classic Mughlai dish with the finest ingredients and
traditional techniques. We use fresh paneer (Indian cottage cheese) that's cut into perfect cubes and gently
cooked to maintain its soft, creamy texture.
The sauce is where the magic happens. We create a rich, velvety gravy using a blend of cashews, almonds, and
cream, combined with aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and a touch of saffron. The result is a sauce
that's incredibly creamy, subtly sweet, and delicately spiced. Unlike heavier curries, Shahi Paneer offers
layers of nuanced flavors that complement rather than overpower the mild taste of the paneer.
A Vegetarian Delight
Shahi Paneer is the perfect choice for vegetarians looking for a rich, satisfying meal. The protein-rich paneer
combined with the nutrient-dense nuts and cream makes this dish both delicious and nourishing. It's mild enough
for those who prefer less spicy food, yet flavorful enough to satisfy the most discerning palate. At Aashirwaad,
we take pride in our vegetarian offerings, and Shahi Paneer is one of our most popular dishes.
Best Enjoyed With
Shahi Paneer pairs beautifully with our freshly baked naan breads, particularly butter naan or garlic naan.
You can also enjoy it with tandoori roti for a lighter option, or with steamed basmati rice. Complete your meal
with our other vegetarian specialties like Dal Makhani or Palak Paneer for a truly royal vegetarian feast. This
dish is perfect for family dinners, special occasions, or anytime you want to treat yourself to something special.
