BM #85 Week 3 Day 2 - 

Kadai Paneer is typically a Dhaba style dish with Paneer, Capsicum and onion simmered in a special blend of spices and tomato puree.

In this week's series of Main course Gravy/Rice, this features as a family favorite ever since I first made it at home. 

I sometimes make the Kadai masala powder with just Coriander seeds and it turns out just awesome. Instead of cream I sometimes use cashew butter or just grind 8-10 cashews along with tomato puree.
