Another fantastic recipe! I made a vegan version using tofu and coconut based milk. Came out absolutely delicious. A fiesta of flavours! Thanks for another great one Bumbi!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I am so glad you liked it

[@mtkoslowski]

I wish more Americans would learn the delicious recipes of the Indian subcontinent and surrounds. The recipes and methods that you share with us are absolutely outstanding. Thank you so much!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thank you

[@terrirideout9683]

This looks amazing! As soon as I saw the photo, I HAD to watch your video. I plan to make this tomorrow and will use a mix of tofu and paneer. Thanks so much for showing us something different.

Delicious 😋

[@ashextraordinaire]

This looks DIVINE! I've been seeking a good tomato-less gravy, and I just bought some fresh paneer. Thank you for this!!! (Kasuri methi is my favorite seasoning. I love how the aroma stays on my hands after crushing it over a dish!)

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thank you

This is a genuine delish recipe. Easily digestible and good to eat

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks a lot

[@jlife9092]

Bumbi that looks superb! I live by myself so I'll probably make the sauce by itself and store it as frozen ice cubes then pan fried 1 person portion of paneer before melting couple cubes of sauce in the same pan. I use soy milk as I'm dairy free (as mush as possible in reality). Oh, I also found that mint leaves in such rich gravy dishes also cuts through the heaviness of it and leaves a very refreshing aftertaste.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Mint is really very refreshing

I'll bet that gravy would be amazing with chickpeas or other proteins as well.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Yes definitely. I make this same recipe using chicken and it tastes too good

Sure 👍🏽👍🏽

I’m so excited to try this recipe! Thank you Bumbi!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks Dianna.

[@hanoman0169]

Delicious! Had to substitute with tofu owing to lack of paneer in Jakarta and too lazy to make it myself today. Thank you again for your wonderful recipes 😊

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Wow !! You’ve already made it?

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

Wow, this looks fabulous! I make paneer makhani with cashew butter quite frequently, as it’s one of my personal favorites, but this is a bit different and easier. Plus your recipe has my favorites - garlic and onion - as my paneer makhani recipe is Jain and cannot include them. I’m really excited to make this recipe, but I have to make some paneer first. My local grocery store does not stock paneer, so I’ve gotten into the habit of buying a gallon of milk and making my own. It’s easy, if a bit time consuming.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Wonderful!! Nothing like homemade paneer.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

@@CurriesWithBumbi Homemade paneer does taste so much better and has such a lovely texture you just can’t get with store-bought paneer. But it takes me 45 minutes to slowly heat a gallon of milk. I really need a new stove, but every time I look at them, the prices give me a massive headache. And there are so many options to consider that in the end I give up and just keep cooking with my old stove.

Amazing recipe, love your narration and presentation.. ❤

[@BoggWeasel]

I'm experimenting with the making of vegan paneer using peanuts, (can use almonds too, but peanuts are cheaper for experimental purposes) and when I get it right, (two in the compost bin so far), this looks like the absolute perfect recipe for it. Tofu is a good sub for paneer but it always tastes like tofu and I'd like the dish to taste of something a little different. Can't wait to try this recipe so I'd better crack on with some "cheese" making. :)

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for sharing your experience on your experiments. All the best.

Hi Bumbi 👋Wow this is a fantastic recipe. It looks so delicious. I have got to make it. Hope you are well my friend. It has been a very eventful week here. Finally we have gas again 🙏They took away the old meter for testing. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. Hope you have a great weekend💕

Yayyyy!! Finally they took it away. So happy to hear that.

[@rajr1032]

Thanks. Nice recipe. It is quite unusual to use dairy milk in curries. I'm from south India, where coconut milk is commonly used, of course.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can use coconut milk as well

[@Blueshirt38]

I may be the weird one, but i like rubbery paneer. I love food with interesting textures. Of course if i was making this for the family then I would keep it as conventional as possible.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Please make it the way you like.

[@TinaBarreto-ut2ko]

Yummy

[@tombrennan7673]

I love your videos Bumbi Is it better to thaw the paneer before you cook it or just toss it in the pan frozen?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Always thaw the paneer and use it

[@rbrown6476]

Hi Bumbi, could I use the liquid strained from cooking onions and spices? I thought I could save it and use it when it’s time to add water to Paneer. It seems a shame to discard all that goodness. 😅 Thanks x

[@kamiros9739]

Made paneer for the first time yesterday, I think I’ll just use that all the time now instead of chicken. Gonna check out your recipe; not a fan of almonds somehow

Can I use cashews un stead of Almonds Bumby?

Add sugar! It balances the flavor and mouthfeel. Ignore the whiners
