Instructions

1. First take all the pickle spices in a small pan or small kadhai. Dry roast it for few minutes on low flame till we get a nice aroma from it just don't brown them.
2. Once done, switch off the gas and let this cool down. Once the spices are cooled down, add the spices in a mixer blender and make a coarse powder. You can make a fine powder too. Keep this powder aside.

   
3. In the same mixer blender, blend the cashew nuts to a coarse powder. Don't blend it more as we don't want the cashew nuts to leave oil.

   
4. Heat butter or oil in a deep bottom pan. Add whole red chillies, chopped green chillies, grated ginger and sautxe9 for a few seconds.
5. Now add chopped tomatoes and cook it for 1-2 minutes.
6. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala and mix it well. Cook the tomatoes till you see oil leaving the sides of the pan.
7. Now its time to add besan and our achari mixture. Cook it really nice.
8. Finally add the whisked dahi/curd. Be quick and fast as it might get curdled. Keep stirring it for few minutes, till you see a boil.
9. Add salt to taste and paneer cubes. Mix it well with light hands.
10. Finally add cream or malai and crush kasoori meethi on top of it.
11. Mix it well and garnish with chopped coriander leaves and mint leaves.
12. Tada! No Onion No Garlic Achari Paneer is ready.

    
13. Serve it with Roti/Naan/Kulcha/Paratha.

Recipe Notes

Notes :

• You can add onion/ garlic too. Can add before we add tomatoes.
• If you want to make it more spicy, you can add achar ka masala which is available at home or any ready made mango pickle will do.
