Paneer Ki Sabji | Quick Paneer Curry Recipe | Paneer Sabzi Recipe with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Paneer curries have always been a premium recipe in Indian cuisine. However, these curries are generally fancy and may require additional spices and ingredients to make an ideal fancy curry. But it can also made as a simple no-fuss with minimal ingredients, yet not compromising on its taste and flavors.

I have posted several paneer curries till now and most of them are the premium curries from the restaurants. They either need fancy pre-made spices or may contain additional ingredients as a taste enhancer. But I wanted to post something simple to make like most of our curries with onion and tomato base. Also, I was getting several requests from my readers to post some basic paneer curry recipes. Hence I decided to post and name it simple paneer ki sabji or quick paneer curry. In this, I have added basic whole spices to get the extra flavor, which can be ignored but I would not recommend it. Moreover, you can easily experiment with other choices of vegetables or even combine the vegetables to this recipe to make a mixed veg recipe.

In addition, some more tips, suggestions, and variations to the paneer ki sabji. Firstly, I would heavily recommend using moist and fresh paneer for this recipe. As a tip, it is best to use fresh and moist paneer for all the curries. It would help to absorb the curry flavor into it and thus improve the taste. Secondly, in this recipe, I have not added additional ingredients like cashew paste or full cream/malai. But adding these will make the curry more curry and premium. Lastly, I have added ghee tempering for the desi flavor. Using ghee is not mandatory and hence you can use simple cooking oil or butter for the same result.

Finally, I would like to add a few more Paneer Recipe Variations with this post of quick paneer curry recipe. It mainly includes my other types of paneer dishes like paneer toast, paneer burger, garlic paneer curry, hung curd paratha, roti sandwich, chur chur naan, paneer nawabi curry, malai kofta, reshmi paneer, aloo paneer tikki. Further to these, I would also like to mention my other recipe categories like,
