How to Make Shahi Paneer Dip?

1. Let’s start by heating some ghee in the Meyer Bauhaus Stockpot. Start by adding all the whole spices and toasting them for 1-2 mins over medium heat.  
2. Now let's add the ginger garlic paste, onions, and capsicum. Saute all these ingredients for 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
3. Now let's add all the dry spices to the mix and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes or until the spices are toasted. 
4. Now add the tomato puree and mix everything well. Cover the stockpot and allow the gravy to cook for 10-12 minutes over medium heat.
5. If the gravy becomes too thick, add water ½ cup at a time to adjust the consistency.
6. Cook the mixture for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the masala releases its oils.
7. Finally, add the cream to the gravy followed by the paneer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
8. Now to make the dip, transfer the ready shahi paneer to the Meyer baking dish.
9. Sprinkle it with freshly grated mozzarella cheese and more paneer along with a sprinkle of red chili powder and kasoori methi.
10. Bake the dish for 12 minutes at 180* C. Garnish with some sirka pyaaz and chopped coriander.

Expert Tips

1. We recommend using tomato puree rather than fresh tomatoes as the excess moisture in the tomato puree keeps the gravy from getting dry in the oven while baking.
2. You can substitute the paneer with other veg or nonveg items. Try adding grilled or boiled chicken to the gravy to make a non vegetarian option.
