khoya paneer recipe | how to make khoya paneer curry with step by step photo and video recipe. traditional paneer based curries or gravies are typically prepared with tomato and onion sauce with either cashew paste or cream. but khoya paneer is slightly different and richness is derived from khoya or mawa added to this recipe. the addition of mawa makes it richer and also adds the combination of sweet and spicy taste to the gravy.

generally, in any indian cuisine fine dining restaurant, you would not find khoya paneer curry on its menu. this is perhaps because of the extra richness or perhaps the sweet taste it has to offer. especially in overseas indian restaurant’s, the demand is for more spicy curry rather sweet or rich curry. having said that khoya based curries are hugely popular and must curry in special occasions, festivals and marriages. in addition, the recipe is prepared with the khoya or mawa prepared by evaporating the milk which yields milk solids. but i have my own shortcut and easy method of preparing it with milk powder which should make this recipe less hassle and economical.

some easy tips, recommendations and serving suggestion for this rich and creamy khoya paneer curry recipe. firstly, i have used homemade paneer cubes for this recipe and hence it was fresh, soft and tender. if you are planning to use store-bought make sure to have fresh paneer so that it easily absorbs the gravy. secondly, in this recipe, i have used khoya made from full cream milk powder, but you are more than welcome to use the same quantity of store-bought traditional khoya. lastly, the gravy thickens when after adding khoya or mawa hence add sufficient amount water to maintain the consistency. a thick consistency is ideal for roti/chapathi but you may need thin if serving with rice-based dishes.

finally, i would like to highlight my other paneer curries recipes collection with this post of khoya paneer. it includes recipes like, palak paneer, paneer butter masala, paneer masala, paneer bhurji, paneer kofta, paneer kolhapuri, chilli paneer and paneer tikka masala recipe. further, i also request you to check my other similar recipes collection like,
