The final gravy dish with paneer for this week’s blogging marathon is this Quick paneer gravy recipe.
This gravy has marinated paneer pieces in a tomato based gravy. You can marinate this ahead and refrigerate and use it within a day or two.
I drew inspiration for this marinade from my Vietnamese Sweet and sour tofu recipe.
This Quick paneer gravy comes as a blessing when you need a quick side for roti. The paneer chunks are so flavorful and will surely please everyone’s taste buds.
If you don’t have time to marinade the paneer chunks, just add them as such. It will be equally tasty.
The picture is not as good as I want it to be but please don’t judge a dish by the click. Cook and relish it and I am sure you will love it!

That is a flavourful marinade for paneer. The final dish must be so delicious with the marinated paneer. Looks absolutely yum.
Very interesting idea to marinate paneer for a gravy sabji. Good one.
Marinating the paneer adds extra flavor and the dish is a fuss free one.
Marination helps paneer to absorb the flavors. Dish looks so delicious and tempting
Quite an interesting way to make paneer gravy. And stocking it in the fridge must surely make this handy too!
