Soft cubes of paneer cooked in a flavourful gravy is Dhaba Style Paneer Masala. It is a rich and pleasant dish. The best part about this recipe is easy to make it. It doesn’t call for many ingredients and too much time or any special breads as accompaniments. Dhaba style paneer can be served with tawa chapatis or parathas.
The recipe calls for paneer… obviously! And for best results, I like to use homemade paneer. DDhaba style paneer recipe has a tomato and onion based gravy. However, to add richness to the gravy, cashews are added. Dhaba style paneer masala is garnished with lots of fresh coriander which makes it enticing. I have used homemade tomato puree, it gives a gorgeous color to the dish and also reduces its cook time. Here is a collection of paneer main course recipes.
