Shahi paneer undoubtedly tops the list of the most-loved vegetarian delicacies in the country. Staying true to its name, 'shahi' translates to royal in English, and it promises that in every bite. Soft paneer cubes cooked in an aromatic and creamy tomato gravy define indulgence in the truest sense. It comes as no surprise that this classic dish has made its mark on the global food map as well. Last month, the popular food guide Taste Atlas released a list of the 10 best-rated curries in the world, and our beloved shahi paneer received the 4th ranking. Quite amazing, isn't it? Given that it made it to the list of the world's best curries, we recommend you add it to your week's menu.

Here Are 5 Ingredients You'll Need To Make Shahi Paneer At Home:
1. Paneer
Paneer is the star ingredient of this dish, which is why it must be of the best quality. If the paneer you use is rubbery and hard, your shahi paneer will obviously not turn out that great. The softer the paneer is, the better it will taste.
2. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are a key ingredient in the gravy of this dish. They are the reason behind the distinct orange colour and tangy flavour that are synonymous with shahi paneer. You can buy tomato puree, but we recommend making your own puree at home with fresh tomatoes.
3. Cream
Shahi paneer wouldn't be shahi if it didn't have cream in it. After all, it's what makes the gravy rich and luscious. Do not hesitate to add extra cream while making shahi paneer. Apart from cream, grab some cashew nuts to make a paste and add even more richness.

4. Spices
You'll also need a variety of masalas to add flavour to your shahi paneer. Stock your pantry with spices such as Kashmiri red chilli powder, garam masala, bay leaves, cinnamon, and cloves. Also, do not forget to buy some kasuri methi.
5. Ghee
Is any Indian dish complete without ghee? We guess not! The amount of richness it adds to your dish is incomparable to what any cooking oil can possibly do. So, swap oil for ghee and see how incredible your shahi paneer turns out.
