Ingredients

  • For the Paneer Cubes:

  • 400g cubed firm paneer

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

  • 1/4 tsp red chili powder

  • 1/4 tsp garam masala

  • Salt to taste

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • For the Rogan Josh Gravy:

  • 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 cloves

  • 2 black cardamoms

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 1 medium finely chopped onion

  • 2 tsp ginger-garlic paste

  • 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder

  • 1 tsp coriander powder

  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder

  • 1 tsp garam masala

  • 1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes

  • 1 cup full-fat yogurt

  • 1/2 cup water (optional)

  • Salt to taste

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions

  • 1. Marinate the Paneer:
    Combine paneer cubes with turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight, before cooking.
  • 2. Fry the Paneer:
    Add a little oil to a fry pan; heat on a medium flame. Deep fry the marinated paneer cubes to a golden brown all over. Set aside.
  • 3. Infuse the Spices:
    In a different pan or Dutch oven, heats the ghee over medium heat. Add bay leaf, cloves, black cardamoms, and cinnamon stick. If you toast them, they will split open with a fragrant crackle.
  • 4. Build the Gravy:
    Add chopped onion. Cook until translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and stir for 1 minute. Add Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and garam masala. Saute for 30 seconds to release spices.
  • 5. Simmer and Simmer:
    Add chopped tomatoes; cook until soft. Add yogurt and stir well into the gravy. Cook for several minutes. Thin to desired consistency with water. Season with salt.
  • 6. Reunite the Paneer:
    Add fried paneer cubes Then gently mix in the fried paneer cubes and simmer for 5-7 minutes. The paneer will absorb the deep-flavored gravy.

Tips:

  • Kashmiri red chili powder adds a mild heat and a beautiful red color. Replace common chili powder, using an amount to your taste in spices.
  • If you prefer a creamier gravy, substitute cashew paste for yogurt. Boil 1 / 4 cup of cashews; Puree; Add to sauce.
  • Serve with hot basmati rice or naan for a complete, filling meal.
