Methi Lasuni Paneer recipe is a delicious recipe bursting with flavours of methi (fenugreek), lehsun (garlic) and paneer. This North Indian Recipe is finding its well-deserved placed in lots of Indian Restaurants in India and world over.
The sharpness of methi and the pungency of garlic are well balanced by the sweetness of cream and soft cubes of paneer. Soft melting paneer in a delicious and healthy gravy. Paneer is packed with calcium and protein and methi is a good source of iron and fiber making this recipe highly nutritious.
Originally this recipe originated in Punjab (methi is used in lots of recipes in Punjab especially in winters), but within a span of time it has become popular all over India and the ingredients are modified to match one’s taste and preference for instance in some variation’s tomatoes are used, or coconut milk amongst many others. The first time I tasted this recipe was in an authentic Punjabi restaurant and my children instantly fell in love with it. I have tried different versions of this recipe at home with lots of failed attempts as I just couldn’t find the right balance of flavours (especially as methi can be quite bitter) until I hit the perfect balance with this recipe. This recipe has the right amount of creaminess, bitterness and sweetness to balance everything together.
