Paneer Dana Methi: A Recipe From The Iconic Rajasthani Thali

Paneer Dana Methi

Paneer Dana Methi is a rich and robust dish which gets a touch of bitter from the methi dana, one of the key ingredients in this recipe.

 

Prep time: 45 minutes + soaking time

Caters to: 2 gobblers

Challenge level: Intermediate

From the pantry:

  • 250 grams paneer
  • 50 grams fenugreek seeds
  • 10 ml oil
  • 2 tablespoon whole cumin seeds
  • 12 grams garlic
  • 250 grams chopped onions
  • 62 grams curd

Cook Away:
