Paneer In Mushroom Curry

 

Paneer In Mushroom Curry is a dish where paneer and other vegetables are cooked in mushroom sauce along with Indian spices. The gravy is rich and creamy and has a nice flavor of mushroom. The curry goes well with roti, tandoori roti, naan, paratha or jeera rice.

My son loves Pasta in mushroom sauce and hence I make it quite often.  This time I had a good quantity of white mushrooms in my fridge, Hence I have made mushroom sauce. I have used some of it to make pasta for my son’s lunch box.  With the left out sauce, I wanted to make a dish by using Indian spices. The best way was to make a curry. Paneer and mushroom are good combination for making a curry. We often eat paneer and mushroom in a tomato onion based gravy in restaurants. So I thought of making paneer curry but this time using the mushroom sauce. The combination of mushroom sauce cooked with Indian spices turned out super yummy and delicious. Kasurimethi enhanced the flavor of the curry.

I have shared the video recipe of making mushroom sauce. Click below for detail recipe and video.

Pasta In Creamy Mushroom Sauce

I have tossed the chopped veggies – onions, red and green capsicum, mushroom, sweet corn, baby corn in oil and ghee.(Here you can add the vegetables of your choice. I have some sweet corn, baby corn and yellow capsicum from the left over used for making pizza the previous night).  Then have added all the spices and a generous amount of kasuri methi. The taste of kasuri methi blends well in the curry and gives it a restaurant style taste. To this I have added the mushroom sauce, cashew nut powder and water and then have simmered the gravy. Cashew nut helped in giving a good binding and rich creamy taste to the gravy. The house was full of aroma released from mushroom sauce, kasuri methi and garam masala.

I made this curry when my college friend -Sandip Chandak had come along with his mother to visit Sydney. They had stayed at our place. Sandip is also a foodie, So making food and serving him was a great pleasure. Not only he and his mom but my husband (Mithil), my son (Aarvav) and my mom (Rekha Ramolia) enjoyed the curry to the fullest. I had made garlic naan and parath paratha to serve with the paneer in mushroom curry. My experiment was a success at my place and my friend and my husband insisted on putting  this recipe on the blog.
