Paneer Pasanda is an another scrumptious, creamy and rich Paneer gravy. Crumbled or Grated Paneer with chopped nuts and golden raisins mixed together for stuffing. This stuffing is extremely delicious. This stuffing is stuffed inside Paneer triangles and shallow fried and then added to the tomato-onion gravy. Once, I went to a Birthday Party hosted by a Punjabi Family. One of the main main course was Naan which was served with Paneer Pasanda. Punjabi’s love Paneer and they are expertise in making homemade paneer. With homemade paneer, the Pasanda tasted so divine.

We can also have the Paneer Pasanda Pakoda served as a snack. Enjoy each bite of Pasanda pakoda  as it has coarsely chopped nuts along with raisins and crumbled paneer.  We can even make this filling and coat it with maida paste and dust it with bread crumbs and deep fry them. This will make a yummy and crunchy snack too !

Tips for making Paneer Pasanda:

  • We can add unsweetened khoya to the crumbled paneer to make the filling even more richer.
  • We can cut the paneer to triangle or even rectangular pieces. Make sure the paneer pieces are little thick to stuff the crumbled paneer mixture.
  • If you have nut allergy, you can skip adding nuts in the filling. Also for gravy, we can replace cashews with poppy seeds which gives a nutty flavor.
  • Shallow cook the stuffed paneer triangle pieces in low flame to make sure its not getting burnt. Flip and cook so its evenly fried.
  • If you like, you can coat the corn flour dipped paneer in bread crumbs and deep fry till they are golden brown.
  • We can prepare the gravy ahead and refrigerate it. Whenever we want, we can prepare the pasanda,  reheat the gravy, add the pasanda in the gravy and serve hot!
  • Make the gravy in a pourable consistency. Do not make it too thick.
  • We can add fresh cream before switching off the flame. We can substitute fresh cream with coconut cream too.
  • Relish with Pulao, or Naan or Paratha!
