About Kadai Paneer Gravy
Kadai Paneer gravy is a delectable spicy gravy and commonly ordered in most of the Indian restaurants as a side dish for all Indian breads. Paneer is cooked in gravy made of onions, tomatoes, cashews and traditional Indian spices. My family is fond of paneer recipes and I always love making variety of paneer recipes. We enjoyed the mild smoky flavor of this recipe having cooked in Kadai.
