Shahi paneer, also known aspaneer rajwadi,[1]chhena rajwadi, orraajsi chhena, is a preparation ofchhena orpaneer, native to theIndian subcontinent, consisting of a thick gravy of cream, tomatoes andIndian spices.
The dish is prepared by emulsifying tomatoes, onions, ground cashews, ghee (clarified butter), and cream into a smooth, rich curry, which is then simmered with cubes of chhena or paneer and a blend of aromatic spices.
