Description
Paneer Kadai (also known as Kadai Paneer) is a popular North Indian dish made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese), bell peppers, and onions, all cooked together in a rich, spicy tomato-based gravy. The dish is named after the traditional Indian wok called a kadai, which enhances the bold, smoky flavors.
A key feature of Paneer Kadai is the use of freshly ground kadai masala, typically made from whole spices like coriander seeds, red chilies, and cumin. The result is a vibrant, semi-dry curry that’s both aromatic and flavorful. It’s commonly served with naan, roti, or jeera rice, making it a beloved choice in restaurants and home kitchens alike.
