Kadai Paneer is a popular North Indian dish made with paneer cooked in a spiced tomato-based gravy along with onions and capsicum. The dish is flavored with freshly ground kadai masala and traditionally cooked in a thick-bottomed kadai. This version has a bold, slightly smoky taste and is commonly served with Indian breads.
