Shahi paneer (Devanagari शाही पनीर) is a preparation of paneer in a thick gravy made up of cream, tomatoes and spices. It is a mainstay of Indian cuisine (mainly North India).
It is mainly eaten with roti, chapati or other Indian breads. Paneer is the Indian word for cottage cheese, and shahi is the Indo-Persian term for royal (in reference to the Mughal court). Similar dishes include paneer butter masala and kadai paneer.
