Kadai paneer — also spelled kadhai paneer — is the vegetarian dish for people who like their curry with texture. Paneer, bell peppers and onion are tossed in a thick tomato masala with freshly crushed coriander seed, cooked hot and fast in the heavy kadai pan that gives the dish its name.
A kadai is a deep, round-bottomed pan, and cooking in one is a technique as much as a recipe: high heat, quick tossing and a masala that clings to the ingredients instead of pooling around them. That is why kadai paneer arrives thick and glossy rather than soupy.
The signature flavour is crushed coriander seed, toasted and ground coarsely so it stays gritty and aromatic, backed by tomato, ginger, garlic and green chilli. Bell peppers and onion go in near the end so they keep a bite. It is our most vegetable-forward paneer curry and a natural choice for guests who want something lighter than a cream gravy.
Because the pan does the work, this dish is made to order in minutes — peppers crisp, paneer just seared, masala reduced. Ask for it dry if you want a thicker, semi-dry version for scooping with roti, or with a little more gravy if it is going over rice.
