To prepare paneer changezi
take 300 grams of paneer.
Cut the paneer into big cubes.

We kept the paneer cubes in the fridge
for 30 minutes to marinate them.
Now, we will roast them.
Heat a pan.
Pour 2-3 tbsp of oil in it.
The oil is hot.
Place the paneer pieces in the pan
keep the flame low medium
roast the paneer over low medium flame
Turn the pieces around
They have turned slightly brown.
turn all the pieces
Fry all the pieces from all sides
until golden brown
We have fried all the
pieces till golden brown
Take them out.
Turn off the flame.
It takes 10 minutes to fry them up
They have used very less oil
see
There is still much oil left in the pan.
For preparing gravy, take a pan
Pour 2 tbsp of oil in the pan.
heat the oil in the pan.
First, add Sabut Masala
1 bay leaf
1-inch cinnamon
3 cloves
6-7 black pepper
2 red chilies
1-crushed cardamom
1-black cardamom
peel and add the seeds
The seeds of the cardamom
enhances the flavour of the sabzi
Slightly roast the sabut Masala
Take 2 tomatoes and
and 1/2 inch ginger baton
add tomato-ginger paste to the pan.
Instead, add chopped tomatoes
and grated ginger to the pan.
now, add other spices
add 1/2 tsp of cumin powder
1.5 tsp of coriander powder.
1/4 tsp of turmeric powder
1.5 tsp of kashmiri red chili powder
It gives a nice colour to sabzi.
See, after adding the Kashmiri red chili
the masala color has improved
1 tbsp of Kasuri Methi
crush and add it to the masala
roast it with masala
and adds perfect flavour
the oil started to separate from the masala
Now, add 1/4 cup of curd.
Add fresh curd only
do not add too sour curd.
Turn the flame to low
saute the masala while stirring constantly
If you will add curd
while the flame is high
and do not stir it
then the curd will spoil
and it will ruin the gravy.
take fresh curd, hybrid tomatoes
they have a little sweet taste
Then the gravy will taste scrumptious
Adding dahi will make the gravy tangy
which separates it from other paneer sabzi
Stir the gravy continuously
till it comes to a boil
The oil has separated from the masala
Now, add 1/4 cup of fresh malai.
you can use cream or butter instead
Mix well and roast the masala
Malai will enhance the gravy taste.
You can add onion after
adding the sabut masala
slightly roast the sabut masala
add 1 chopped onion
roast it until pinkish
then prepare gravy the same way.
the oil has started to separate
and the masala is fragrant enough
the masala is well roasted
add a little water in the gravy
Add 1/2 cup of water
The gravy consistency
would be as you please
1/4 tsp of garam masala
1/2 tsp of salt
or as per your taste
1-2 tbsp of green coriander
and mix well.
See, how perfect the gravy looks
It has a prefect color & texture
The gravy is not too spicy
we have added kashmiri red chili only
Now, add paneer cubes to the gravy
cover the pan and simmer
the sabzi for 2-3 minutes.
So the paneer cubes can
immerse well in the gravy.
After 3 minutes
our sabzi is ready.
