Experience our award-winning Shahi Paneer, a signature vegetarian dish at Cilantro Kittchen & Bar. Featuring fresh cottage cheese cubes in a rich, creamy gravy with aromatic spices. This customer favorite showcases our commitment to bringing authentic Indian flavors to south Edmonton.
Shahi Paneer is one of India's most beloved vegetarian dishes and a signature specialty at Cilantro Kittchen & Bar. Our authentic recipe begins with fresh, homemade paneer (cottage cheese) cubes that are lightly fried to give them a golden exterior while keeping the inside soft and creamy. The paneer is then simmered in a rich, aromatic gravy made with cashews, cream, and a carefully balanced blend of spices.
What makes our Shahi Paneer special is the perfect balance of flavors – rich and creamy without being heavy, aromatic without being overwhelming, and with that distinctive royal taste that gives the dish its name (Shahi means "royal"). The gravy is made by blending soaked cashews with cream to create a smooth, luxurious texture. We serve our Shahi Paneer with your choice of basmati rice or freshly baked naan bread, making it the perfect vegetarian comfort food for any occasion.
