🧾 Ingredients:
For the Paneer:

Warm water – for soaking paneer (optional, for softness)

For the Gravy:
Oil or ghee – 2 tbsp

Butter – 1 tbsp

Green cardamom – 2

Cloves – 2

Bay leaf – 1

Cinnamon stick – 1 small piece

Onion – 1 medium (finely chopped or paste)

Green chili – 1 (slit or finely chopped)

Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp

Cashew nuts – 10 (soaked in warm water for 15 mins and ground to paste)

Fresh cream – ½ cup (or malai collected from milk)

Milk – ½ cup (adjust to desired consistency)

Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) – 1 tsp (crushed)

Garam masala – ½ tsp

Salt – to taste

Sugar – ½ tsp (optional, balances flavors)

Coriander leaves – for garnish

🔥 Instructions:
1. Prep Paneer:
Soak paneer cubes in warm water for 10 mins (optional step for extra softness). Drain and keep aside.

2. Cook Base:
Heat oil + butter in a pan.

Add whole spices (cardamom, cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon). Sauté for a few seconds.

Add finely chopped onions and green chilies. Cook till translucent.

Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté till raw smell goes away.

3. Add Cashew Paste:
Add cashew paste and cook on low flame for 3–4 mins until oil begins to separate.

4. Creamy Gravy:
Add cream and stir gently.

Pour in milk to adjust the consistency.

Add salt, sugar, and garam masala. Mix well.

Crush and add kasuri methi.

5. Add Paneer:
Gently add paneer cubes and mix lightly.

Simmer for 3–5 minutes on low flame. Do not overcook, or paneer may become hard.

6. Garnish & Serve:
Garnish with chopped coriander or a swirl of cream.

Serve hot with naan, roti, paratha, or jeera rice.

🍽️ Tips:
You can skip green chilies for a no-heat version.

Add a pinch of cardamom powder for enhanced aroma.

For richer taste, add a spoon of khoya (mawa) with cream.
