Kadai Paneer
Kadai Paneer is a beloved North Indian vegetarian dish featuring soft, succulent cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked in a rich, aromatic tomato-based gravy. The dish is named after the kadai — a traditional Indian wok — in which it’s cooked. Paneer is stir-fried with colorful bell peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic, and then simmered in a spicy blend of freshly ground kadai masala made with coriander seeds, dried red chilies, and other warm spices. The result is a vibrant, slightly smoky curry with bold flavors and a beautiful mix of textures. Served hot, Kadai Paneer pairs perfectly with naan, roti, or steamed rice — a true favorite for any vegetarian meal!
