Paneer Kadai is a spicy and aromatic North Indian dish made with soft paneer cubes cooked in a thick, semi-dry tomato-based gravy. It is prepared using freshly ground kadai masala made from dry red chillies and coriander seeds, which gives the dish its bold flavor and rustic aroma . Capsicum and onions are stir-fried in a kadai (wok) and combined with the tangy tomato masala, then finished with paneer, ginger juliennes, and a touch of garam masala. Paneer Kadai is known for its slightly smoky taste and vibrant red color. It pairs excellently with naan, roti, paratha, or jeera rice and is a favorite for those who enjoy a bit of spice.
