Paneer Korma

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Korma hails from the courts of the Mughal emperors: a rich, silky, mildly spiced dish where yoghurt or cream (here coconut milk) is slowly simmered with spices. Paneer (Indian fresh cheese) doesn't melt but keeps its shape, absorbing all the flavour of the sauce. This is a vegetarian royal feast.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the paneer. Fry in a little oil until golden brown on all sides, then remove.

Tip: Frying gives the cheese a crust so it doesn't fall apart in the sauce, and adds a nuttier flavour. [Maillard reaction]
2 ✓

Finely chop the onion (or blitz to a purée). Fry in the oil until browned.

Tip: Puréeing the onion provides the Korma's thick, creamy texture.
3 ✓

Add the garlic, ginger and spice paste. Fry for 1-2 minutes until the oil separates from the spices.

Tip: This 'separation' indicates the spices are cooked and their flavour has deepened.
4 ✓

Pour in the coconut milk and add the curry leaves. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.

Tip: The sweetness of coconut milk suits the mild spices.
5 ✓

Return the paneer to the pan and cook together for a few minutes. Finish by sprinkling with garam masala.

Tip: Garam masala is added at the end to preserve its fragrance.

Recipe FAQ

I can't get paneer, what should I use?
Use grilling cheese (halloumi) or very firm tofu. Cheddar or Gouda will melt, that's not good!
Why is the sauce bitter?
The spices or garlic burned during frying. Be careful with the heat!
