Author's Notes

Can you make this vegan? Yes. Use extra-firm tofu, potatoes, cauliflower, mushrooms, or soya chunks instead. Also for the marinade, you can use dairy-free plain yogurt. If using mushrooms, no need to marinate it. Just mix it in the yogurt mixture and fry. Instead of frying the tofu in ghee, use coconut or vegetable oil instead.

Can you freeze this? While this prepared Paneer Curry stays good in the fridge for 2-3 days, you can freeze it as well. I would suggest you freeze the gravy separately. Then as and when you need to make this Kadai Paneer, you can thaw and heat the gravy and add freshly fried paneer to it.
