Aloo Paneer Recipe | Aloo Paneer Curry | Cottage Cheese And Potato Curry

Paneer-based and aloo-based north Indian-style gravy dishes are very popular across India. In each dish, the main ingredient plays the starring role. Aloo paneer combines the best of both ingredients, making for a fabulous combination of two distinct curries.

Tips on how to make the best Aloo Paneer Recipe:

Add about equal quantities of paneer and potatoes to this alu paneer masala to maintain a proper balance and to ensure that no one ingredient dominates.
 

Make sure to use ripe, red tomatoes. Avoid underripe and sour tomatoes.

Because aloo and paneer require different cooking durations and temperatures, they are added at different times in the cooking sequence.

To reduce cooking time in this aloo paneer recipe, cut the potatoes into about 1¼-inch cubes. They should be of medium size so they can maintain their shape after cooking.
 

If you like, you can substitute baby potatoes for diced potatoes in this easy aloo paneer recipe.

For a dairy-free dish or if you are lactose intolerant, you can substitute paneer with tofu.
 

The ideal consistency of aloo paneer should be medium thick at the time of serving. However, you can adjust the consistency of the gravy by adding or reducing the amount of water. If you plan to serve aloo paneer curry with rice, add more water to make a gravy with a thin to medium consistency. If you plan to have aloo paneer curry with chapati or naan, opt for a slightly thicker gravy.
 

Check the doneness of the potatoes by slicing a few pieces with a knife; they should be fork-tender.
 

Aloo paneer is delicious with Indian flatbreads like chapati, phulka, roti (plain roti, tandoori roti), naan, paratha (tawa paratha, pudina paratha, lachcha paratha), and kulcha.
 

Enjoy aloo paneer with plain rice, jeera rice, saffron rice, vegetable pulao, or matar (pea) pulao.

For a complete meal, serve boondi raita and your favourite dal.
