Don’t worry ..It’s just the name..I haven’t used any Malai here J
Infact I was not too sure about what to name it but since it was majorly inspired by one of those of Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's recipe, hence I picked up the same name. The Malai here is for the coconut base and for long I wanted to try out Paneer in coconut curry and that’s how Paneer Malai happened.
Making was still easy but then serving it to my family who otherwise is coconut averse was little difficult. However my first litmus test was with my little one and voila…I passed with flying colors. His thumbs up to the dish said it all and then offcourse Mom in Law praising you was an icing on the cake.
So all those who want to get some brownie points don’t miss this Paneer Malai. You can make it spicier by adding more chilli but the essence of coconut is what makes it so delicious.
