Reshmi Paneer is a delectable North Indian dish known for its rich and creamy texture. "Reshmi" translates to "silken" or "smooth," indicating the velvety texture of the dish, while "paneer" refers to Indian cottage cheese.
To prepare Reshmi Paneer, paneer cubes are marinated in a smooth and luscious mixture made from cashew nuts, cream, yogurt, and a blend of aromatic spices such as cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The marinated paneer is then gently cooked in a creamy sauce made from tomatoes, onions, ginger, and garlic, along with a hint of fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) for added flavor.
The result is a dish with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a rich, aromatic flavor profile. Reshmi Paneer is often served garnished with fresh cream, chopped coriander leaves, and a sprinkle of garam masala. It pairs wonderfully with Indian breads like naan or roti, or with steamed rice for a satisfying meal that's sure to please the palate.
