Paneer Kalimirch is a rich and comforting North Indian curry where soft cubes of paneer are simmered in a creamy white gravy, infused with the warmth of freshly crushed black pepper and fragrant whole spices. This dish stands out for its delicate balance of mild heat from pepper and the natural sweetness of onions and cashews, all brought together with a smooth, luxurious texture from cream and curd. It’s the kind of recipe that feels restaurant-style yet is surprisingly easy to pull off at home. Whether you're cooking for guests or craving something special for dinner, this peppery, mildly spiced curry pairs beautifully with naan, roti, or jeera rice.
