Aloo Paneer ki Sabji | Aloo Paneer Curry

Aloo Paneer Curry (आलू पनीर की सब्जी) is a recipe of aloo and paneer (cottage cheese) that is very popular across India. Aloo and paneer makes the amazing combination of two different curries. This is a no onion and no garlic recipe. Aloo paneer ki sabji is cooked in a lightly spiced and tangy tomato gravy. This curry is similar to popular North Indian curries. You can easily cook this delicious aloo paneer curry at home.

To make aloo paneer curry, I have fried aloo and paneer cubes. Here I have given a thin consistency to the curry like aloo tamatar ki sabji. You may give a medium or thick gravy consistency to this aloo paneer curry like any paneer gravy dish. The addition of curd gives a sore and amazing taste to the curry. When adding curd, skip amchoor powder as tomatoes also have been used. It will ruin the taste of curry because curd and tomatoes both have sourness.

Everyone expect something different on their dining table. If you have some paneer in your refrigerator, you can cook this flavourful and tasty curry by adding some potatoes. The combination of potatoes and paneer makes it perfect, flavoured and unique as compared to other traditional curries.

Aloo paneer is delicious with any roti, naan, lachcha paratha and kulcha. You can enjoy this with plain rice or jeera rice. It is a perfect curry recipe served for lunch or dinner.
