Til Paneer Curry

Til Paneer is a dish that comes from the heart of rural kitchens where seeds are used to make rich gravies instead of heavy cream. I use toasted white sesame seeds ground into a smooth paste with ginger and green chilies to create a nutty, ivory-colored sauce. We lightly sauté fresh paneer cubes and let them simmer in this aromatic base until they soak up the earthy flavors. The taste is incredibly sophisticated—creamy yet light, with a gentle heat from the chilies. It is a wonderful alternative to standard restaurant curries and goes beautifully with warm kulchas.

Tips & Secrets
- Be careful not to over-roast the sesame seeds as they can turn bitter very quickly.
- Adding a small piece of cashews while grinding the sesame makes the gravy extra rich and velvety.
- Always use warm water for the gravy to keep the paneer soft and the texture consistent.
