aloo paneer recipe | alu paneer masala | potato paneer curry with step by step photo and video recipe. paneer or aloo based north indian gravies are very common across india. both aloo and paneer takes the center stage in their respective curries with other vegetables as supporting ingredients. but this recipe of aloo paneer recipe is unique where both takes the center stage making it a classic potato and cheese based curry.
as i mentioned previously, this recipe of aloo paneer masala is a combo fusion of 2 curries. basically you could potentially make this curry with either aloo or paneer. but the combination of both yields different and flavoured curry. moreover in this curry i have pan fried both diced potatoes and paneer separately before adding this tomato and onion based sauce. basically this helps to cook both aloo and paneer quickly and effectively. the paneer and aloo has different cooking temperature and hence cooking them separately and adding it later do not affect each other.
some easy and important tips and suggestions while making this rich and creamy aloo paneer recipe. firstly, do not dice the potatoes and paneer to small cubes. it has to be medium sized as the finely chopped potatoes and paneer may get dissolved. secondly, ensure to add approximately equal amount of paneer and potatoes to this curry. each ingredient should not overpower the other and hence both have to be balanced. lastly, you can experiment the same curry by adding the baby potatoes in the place of diced potatoes. you can have a look at my dum aloo curry to understand the usage of baby potatoes before mixing it with curry.
finally i request you to visit my other north indian curry or sabji recipes collection with this post of aloo paneer recipe. it includes recipes like paneer bhurji, paneer capsicum, dum aloo, aloo matar, aloo ki sabzi, matar paneer and mushroom matar curry. in addition i request you to check my other similar and related recipes collection like,
