    When we think of Paneer, it's always either Paneer Butter Masala or any of the other combinations that we would come up with. If we decide not to make the gravy rich and creamy, we might end up using the paneer with aloo or peas or gobi. I know all of these tastes great and makes a wonderful side dish for rotis.

    There is another version that Amma makes that's very creamy and aromatic. She uses lot of cardamom and couple of other spices that makes the dish stand out. So in all speculation we thought using something like coconut should not be very different.

    So here is your crowd pleaser cooked in a coconut base. And you can take my word, it tastes great with rotis too. If you are one of those who think you can't pair Paneer in any other form you ought to make and taste for yourself.

    Ingredients Needed:

    Paneer - 250 gms
    Onions - 1 cup
    Tomatoes, puree - 1 cup
    Tomato chopped - 1/2 medium
    Ginger Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
    Green chilies - 1 long
    Red chili powder - 1 tsp
    Coriander powder - 1 tsp
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    Salt to taste
    Garam Masala
    Coconut paste - 2 tbsp
    Oil - 2 tsp

    How to make Paneer in Coconut Gravy:

    If you are using store bought Paneer, cut into cubes and roast in ghee. Else it's not required with homemade paneer.

    Heat a kadai with oil, saute onions till they turn colour, add ginger garlic paste and green chili. Add the chopped tomatoes and add all the spice powders. Simmer for few mins.

    When the tomatoes soften, add the puree and bring to boil. Add a cup of water and then coconut paste.

    Bring to boil, add salt. Finally add the paneer.

    Serve with Chapatis

    Some may tag this preparation as Paneer Malabari, I don't think this recipe will qualify for that.

    Enjoy your week ahead!

      Hi Srivalli, how have you been? I have almost lost touch with the blogging world since I had the second baby. Also, I was busy with the eBook on Baby food (after all thats what I have been cooking :-))
      Firstly, congrats for completing 5 years of blogging. I saw your eBook on amazon too. I was excited to find a known person there.
      Your paneer dish looks nice. Since paneer in coconut gravy is rare, I'm sure it has a different flavor altogether.
