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.
