Paneer Recipes are always a super hit at my place. When i saw this Paneer methi makhani recipe in Aipi’s space i tried it on the same day. I can say it is one of the best side dish for roti and i enjoyed the creamy texture of the gravy with the addition of evaporated milk in that. You can add fresh cream or full cream milk instead of evaporated milk. But if your get evaporated milk in your place, do try this with that. I have posted Paneer butter masala but this recipe is using paneer and fresh methi leaves. This gravy tastes well with roti but personally we prefer to have this with Kulcha. Please check other paneer recipes from Jeyashri’s kitchen.
Paneer Methi makhani
Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 30 Mins |Serves: 4-5
Paneer cubes 1 cup
Methi leaves 1/2 cup
Onion 2
Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp
Tomato 2
Red chili powder 1 tsp
Coriander powder 1/2 tsp
Garam masala 1/2 tsp
Evaporated Milk 1/2 cup
Oil 1 tblsp
Salt as needed
Sugar 1/4 tsp
Method:
- Chop the onions and methi leaves very finely.
- Grind the tomato into a puree.
- In a pan put oil and add the ginger garlic paste.
- Saute till the raw smell goes.
- Add the onions to this and saute for few minutes.
- When it becomes pink, add the tomato puree,red chili powder, coriander powder,garam masala and cook it for 2-3 mins.
- Add the methi leaves and salt to this and allow it to cook for 4-5 mins.
- Keep the flame low.
- Add the paneer cubes now and mix well.
- Add 1/2 cup water and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Now add the evaporated milk and stir it nicely.
- If you don’t have evaporated milk with you you can just replace with normal full cream milk.
- Now add in the sugar.
- Switch off the flame.
- Paneer methi makhani is ready to serve.
- Serve hot with roti/rice.
Notes:
- Though evaporated milk can be replaced with normal milk, i suggest the addition of evaporated milk as it gives a wonderful texture to the gravy.
- If using normal milk or fresh cream add it in the last and switch off when it comes to one boil.
- Use room temperature milk for paneer methi makhani.

@subha: The bitterness of methi doesn't have any effect on this gravy. You can go ahead and give it a try and i am sure it will be a hit in parties. The additon of tomatoes supress the bitterness of methi

ur paneer s tasty….i have a doubt…what s evaporated milk…or it s same condensed milk…what s difference btw evaporated n mormal milk.
Renu, condensed milk is different and evaporated milk is different. Condensed milk will be sweet. Evaporated will be thin and not sweet. If you don't get evaporated milk just add full cream milk
jeyashree…is tomato puree better than tomatoes?how many tomatoes we have to grind to make a puree.
i prefer to use tomato puree for this one, but if u want to use tomaotes just puree 2-3 tomatoes in a mixie and add to the gravy
