    Shahi Paneer Babycorn Korma ~ Side dish for Rotis

    Another weekend came and gone and we had a wonderful week at SIL's place. I know I have loads of recipes to share. However, today being the weekend special, wanted to share this delicious Vegetarian dish I made for dinner. It's really very rich and stands up to its name being shahi and what not.

    I decided if I am not able to make up for my multiple dishes for a weekend special cooking, it ought to be at least a rich and special dish and this combo surely makes it for both. I had the advantage of mixing paneer and baby corn, both being Konda's favorite. Needless to say, she loved the gravy so much

    You can easily make this not so rich, however, I would say one should indulge once in a while.

    Years back when I was thinking I must update my paper cutting recipe book with the recipes that I had bookmarked elsewhere, I had compiled a list of all my favorite paneer dishes and got them printed on the one side sheets that were lying around. I had bound them to my third paper file, which made a mix of so many other new paper cuttings as well. I felt so good that after almost over a decade I finally took out that paper to tweak this dish. I had decided to try something from those files, during the last two weeks. Somehow managed to make some. Anyway, it felt great to have found another keeper recipe.













    Shahi Paneer Babycorn Korma

    Ingredients

    For the gravy

    Paneer - 2 cups
    Babycorn - 1 cup
    Bay leaf - 1 long
    Garlic - 3 cloves
    Onions ground to paste - 2 medium
    Cream - 2 tsp
    Oil - 2 tsp
    Butter - 1 tsp

    Grind to paste

    Tomatoes - 3 medium
    Green chilies - 2 long
    Garam masala pwd - 1 tsp
    Almond - 5 -6 nos
    Cashewnuts - 7 -8 nos
    Chili powder - 1 tsp
    Salt to taste
    Curds - 1 cup

    How to make the Korma

    For the ground paste:

    Take all the ingredients in a mixer and grind to a smooth paste using water. You can soak the almonds and cashews in hot water to make them soft while grinding. Keep it aside.

    Heat a nonstick pan, add the finely chopped garlic, bay leaf. Add onion paste after a couple of mint leaves. Saute till the onion paste turns colour and is well cooked.

    Next, add the ground masala paste and continue cooking till the oil leaves the sides.

    Meanwhile, in another pan, heat butter and fry chopped baby corns, followed by paneer cubes. First add the baby corn to the pan, so that it gets cooked.

    Add water as required and bring it to boil. Finally, add the fried paneer cubes and cream.

    Simmer for 5 mins and switch off.

    Serve with rotis.

    Notes:

    With the milk overflow that's been happening the past couple of weeks, I had to finally freeze some of the paneer. So I soaked it in hot water before using it for this korma. Though I know soaking in hot water makes the paneer very soft, I was surprised that even frozen paneer can get back its softness so well.

    If you like the baby corn as such you can skip the frying part. But then the stuff I was using stood the test of time in its lifetime being refrigerated. Hence that sauteing in butter.

    We had a wonderful meal with rotis, makes a great meal for a lazy weekend cooking. Check out what Vaishali and Champa have made for their weekend.
