A creamy and buttery Mughlai dish, Shahi Paneer is known for its richness. Here, we give it a Navratri twist by making a nutrient-dense gravy with cashews and lauki (bottle gourd). Lauki is refreshing, hydrating, and easy on the digestive system, while cashews provide a naturally creamy, non-heavy flavour. A hint of honey counteracts the acidity of the tomatoes, while fresh coriander and kasuri methi add fragrance. Many worshippers adhere to a sattvic diet throughout this nine-day period of Navratri, and this recipe is a gift to them. The sattvic, protein-rich paneer takes centre stage, providing nourishment and fullness even while you fast. This vrat-friendly Shahi Paneer is a perfect fit for the Navratri idea of nourishing both body and soul.
