Paneer Korma | Paneer Kuruma | Indian Paneer Recipes

November 24, 2015 20 Comments

To me, a kuruma or korma recipe would have coconut in it. I wanted to make a coconut-based paneer recipe to have with rotis and started searching for one. Then I chanced upon this super easy paneer korma recipe from Sanjeev Kapoor but surprisingly, it has no coconut, rather, the base is a delicious yogurt blend mildly spiced. TH would love that, and anyway I don’t think I want to argue with Sanjeev Kapoor on what a paneer korma should have and shouldn’t have!

The entire thing came together in less than 15 mins, probably the easiest and quickest paneer dish I have ever made. I used pre-fried paneer cubes which made it even quicker but don’t let that deter you.

Paneer Korma – A Sanjeev Kapoor Recipe

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves 2
Adapted from: Sanjeev Kapoor

Ingredients:
1.5 cups of cubed paneer (make paneer at home if you wish)
1 cup of plain yogurt
3-4 cloves of garlic
A pinch of turmeric powder
1″ piece of ginger
2 green chillies
1.5 tsp of all-purpose flour
1 tbsp of oil
A few whole black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
4-5 cloves
3-4 green cardamom pods, crushed
1 tsp of garam masala
A small bunch of fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Salt to taste

How to Make Paneer Korma:

1. Coarsely grind the ginger, garlic and green chillies. Add this to the yogurt along with turmeric, flour, and salt. Mix well with 1 cup water and set aside.

2. Lightly shallow fry the paneer cubes in some oil until the edges turn golden brown. Drain and set aside. If using frozen paneer, defrost fully before frying.

3. Heat oil in a pan and add the bay leaves, cloves, cardamom and peppercorns. When the spices give out a nice fragrance (1-2 mins), add the yogurt mixture. Cook on low heat for 2-3 mins or until it just starts to boil.

4. Add the fried paneer cubes and chopped coriander. Mix well. Top off with the garam masala, cook until the mixture is heated through (don’t boil), and remove from fire. Adjust salt.

The gravy was light and delicious, perfect with rotis. Although it looks bland, it was spicy and just perfect for a hot afternoon in Singapore. I didn’t miss the coconut in the gravy at all – for once!

      I have made this many times for large crowds and it is always much praised. I think the flavours are very well balanced. I would certainly suggest trying it.

    Hi, My sister is married and settled in Singapore. I want to give her a surprise birthday gift. She is a total foodie. Are there any food outlets/restaurants/chat shops where online food coupons/exclusive gift coupons transferrable for food can be purchased and transferred? Been surfing the net for more than an hour and found none of interest, apart from birthday cakes. Kindly help.

    Nice pic Nags ! Kurma, the south India one has coconut, korma, the North Indian does not ! I realised this some years back when my mil made vegetable kurma with coconut, till then I had only tried the very rich North Indian kormas !!

      it is it is .. most of the kuruma from south indian add coconut . 99% of the kuruma from north indian they do not add coconut. they just add the curd, and cashew for making it thick.

      Again south indian kuruma well go with idiyappam or appam or even for hot rice. very rarely it matches with roti and naan

      oh this korma recipe would work wonders with carrots, beans, baby corn, cauliflower, peas etc. Just replace the paneer with a mix of any or all of the above vegetables 🙂
