Paneer in White Gravy

Paneer in White gravy is one of my favourites with Naan,Rotis & Kulcha. Whenever I think of Paneer,I get reminded of the Paneer served at a restaurant named Peter Cat in Kolkata.That was one of my family's fav place for dinner.They had this really rish & creamy gravy for paneer which is sooo yummy that I have no words for it. Earlier whenever I made paneer ,I used to add tomatoes,but it never gave me the taste that i love.After long i realised that just adding freshcream to the usual paneer gravy wouldnt give me the same taste,what was needed was to not use tomatoes & instead use cashewnuts for the rich & thick gravy.So here goes my recipe:This would serve at least 4 Adults.
Ingredients:
Paneer-200g (cubed)
Onions-3 small ones
Green Chillis-1 no.
Cashews-2-3 tbs
Oil-  3-4 tbs
Jeera-1/2 tbs
Bayleaves-1
Cloves-2-3nos
Cinnamom-a small piece
Poppy seeds- 1 tbs
Ginger-a small piece
Garlic-4-5 pods
Water-1/2 cup
Chilli Pwdr-1/2 tbs
Turmeric pwdr-a pinch
Salt to taste
Sugar -1/2 tbs or acc to taste
Fresh cream-half cup
Milk-half cup
Coriander leaves for garnishing

Method:
Take the onions & microwave them for half a minute.Then take,the onions,ginger,garlic,poppy seeds(u can dry roast the poppy seeds if u like for half a minute),cashew & greenchillies into a smooth paste.
After this heat the oil & add the bayleaves,cloves,cinnamon & jeera.Once they sputter,add the ground paste into it & add some more oil if required.Fry this for a while on low,ensuring that they do not get burned.Once the oil starts separating(this takes at least 7-10 mins),add the turmeric,salt & chilli powders.Mix it well & then add some water(1/2 cup or if needbe a little more).Keep mixing & once it starts boiling add the milk to this.let it boil for some more time & then add the fresh cream( i used the Amul tetrapack).At this point you can add the paneer into this mixture.Also add the sugar.Let it boil  &put the flame on low,as it might curdle or stick to the utensil.Keep mixing the gravy until its a thickish in texture.Once the right consitency is achieved,switch of the flame & add the chopped coriander leaves for garnishing.Its best served with chappatis & naans.:)
