tawa paneer masala recipe with step by step photos – this delicious tawa paneer recipe is one of the easiest and quick paneer recipe you can prepare. a delicious semi dry curry which can be cooked in less than 30 minutes. so easy that you can make these when you have unexpected guests at home or you want to cook something easy for dinner after a day’s hard work.

the best part is you can easily serve the tawa paneer masala with a wheat bread or brown bread or pav. you don’t need to make chapatis or parathas. of course you can make chapati or parathas, if you have time and are not too tired.

few other quick and easy paneer recipes on the blog are:

the entire recipe is made on a tawa/tava – a concave shaped round pan (shown in the step by step pics below) used in indian homes for making various indian flat breads like rotis and parathas. even dosa and cheela (gram flour crepes) are made on the tawa. they are also used for shallow frying snacks like aloo tikki and for dry roasting spices, nuts and seeds. a few vegetarian recipes made on tawa are:

if you don’t have a tawa, then you can easily use a frying pan or a medium skillet. if using a tawa, then use a medium sized or a large tawa, so that the food does not spill from the sides while cooking.

to make this recipe, you will need paneer/cottage cheese, capsicum, onion, tomatoes and the regular indian spices-herbs. i have made a puree of the tomatoes. however, you can just finely chop them and add to the dish.

while serving paneer tawa masala, drizzle some lemon juice on top and garnish with coriander leaves. accompany with some side salad.

  22. Bhavi says

    Hey Dassana.. Your recipes are just amazing.. Could you tell me if there is any substitute for carom seeds or could I skip them?

  26. Sarah says

    Hi,
    Wanted to try this recipe. But I need to make it for a quantity that has to be served to 20 ppl..so if I use 600g of paneer can u tell me how to alter the quantity of ingredients accordingly..

    • says

      use 1 kg of paneer and increase the quantity of all ingredients 4 to 5 times proportionately except the spice powders. add the spice powders as per taste.

  27. Rasha says

    I love this blog..they have the best and most easy recipes..and most of all my husband has started loving my veg food..thank u soo much..keep bringing in excellent recipes!

  31. Tom says

    Very nice recipe thanks, quick tasty and the perfect quantity for 2 people. I served with onion lachcha and roti, perfect!

  32. Momo7 says

    Can I substitute tamarind powder for the mango powder, or should I special order the mango powder. I just came across your blog & see that you use this ingredient quite often in your recipes. Can’t wait to try it!

    • says

      tamarind gives a different kind of sourness than dry mango powder. skip the dry mango powder and add few drops of lemon or lime juice towards the end.

  33. Anubhuti Rana says

    Dear Dassana Amit….been wanting to write to you since a while. I have tried most of your paneer recipes with great success! Your site is so inviting for any vegetarian cook….and God sent for an amateur like me. Thank you once again.

    Deepika.

  45. Princy says

    Hi,

    I would like to try this recipe sooner. I have two doubts although:
    1. Can I use non stick flat pan instead of tawa?
    2. Whenever I use tomato puree, I don’t know why but my dish on tasting seems uncooked, slightly sweet in taste. No matter how long I cook, I never saw gravy releasing oil/butter. This happen only with tomato puree based dish. Please suggest what should I do?

    • says

      you can use a non stick tawa. you have to cook the puree for some more minutes. oil specks should be seen floating on top or at the sides. add a pinch of salt for the tomato puree to cook faster.

  49. Sandhya says

    Hi dassana,

    I really love your recipes. They come out so very well that all my friends praise me always for making such wonderful dishes 🙂
    Can we use chopped tomatoes instead of tomato puree.
    Did you use sour tomatoes.

  51. jashen says

    I cant wait to try this recipe. Everything else i’ve tried from your website is absolutely fabulous. You are very talented.
    I had one question. I would prefer to use double cream in this dish rather than sugar. How much would i need to pour? Half or quarter cup?

  52. Harsha Pathak says

    Hi Dassana,

    Tried it, turned out very nice, easy and yummy. Thanks for sharing 🙂

  73. Niki says

    Hey your steps are so easy to follow..and your recepies are fabulous .one question
    Why haven’t you added jeera or cumin seeds and chose ajwain seeds instead ?
    And how do you chop everything so finely .do you use a special tool. If so please share the same as chopping is very time taking .thanks 🙂

    • says

      thanks. i added ajwain as it would give a good aroma to the curry. you can also add jeera instead of ajwain. i chop with a knife. i have been trained to chop finely with a knife. though i don’t chop that finely the way i used to do before.

  76. sumitra says

    m sorry to post my comment after a long time..its been 7 to 8 times i cooked this recepie shared by you….its AWESOME…..lip smacking…..

  81. Sakshi says

    Your site is the best! Amazing food within minutes! i feel so lucky to find this site Dassana!!
    Thank you so much! Trust me i no more see recipes of Mr. Sanjeev Kapoor or Mrs Tarla Dalal! Keep posting new recipes.. Good Luck 🙂

  82. Nivedita says

    My feedback for this dish is long pending.. I should have done it earlier…
    This is one of the easiest paneer sabji ever! I have made this dish 5-6 times for rotis and its such a foolproof recipe. It doesn’t go wrong and tastes the same everytime… (usually that doesn’t happen with me for other dishes!) Especially when you are hard pressed for time.. this recipe takes just 30-40 mins in all! It goes so well with rotis and the flavour of pav bhaji masala is what makes this dish so good!

  85. shreya mandavi says

    the best way you explain the best recepie site I can cook very easily with.understanding the benefit of each an every ingerdient

  86. Hemanth says

    This one was a winner too Dassana. I’m really amazed at the ease that you have explained it with and how even beginners can come up with the right taste to make it look it was made by a seasoned cook. Needless to say, brilliant work done by you as always. I think I spend most times running through your blog than anything else, I always thought I can never cook but now, I’m a believer. All thanks to you ! ! !

    • says

      welcome hemanth. i believe everyone can cook and its not a rocket science. what is needed is the patience to learn and passion to try new recipes. thanks for sharing your feedback always.

  89. subhi says

    Hi, just want to say your recipes are awesome! And so easy… These recipes have been a great help to me as I have recently started living on my own.

  94. Manvendra says

    Hi
    I keep on preparing variety of food for my family and dear ones and I love it.
    When I made this, the best part was not that every one at my home enjoyed it but that that surprisingly my mom has already asked me to cook this recipe twice after the first occasion.
    This I guess is a big complement.
    Thanks

  96. says

  108. keerthana says

    Since the capsicum is added in between, what if it is overcooked because it is a very dominating one………..But i didn’t make a try yet…….

    • says

      the capsicum can be half cooked or three fourth cooked. its the capsicum that bring in flavor in this dish. if you feel its too much, then you can add a small capsicum instead of a medium sized one.

  109. sonu says

    I Love your blog and follow it on regular basis. I have a quick question on your tawa paneer recipe. Instead of butter can I use oil. I am lactose intolerant, so can’t eat dairy products.

      I made this for dinner yesterday and since I am a vegan I used coconut oil instead of butter and firm organic tofu for paneer , it was delicious. my family raved about it.
      Thanks so much!

      • says

        welcome carmen and big thanks for sharing your feedback and variation. coconut oil or even any other oil can be used instead of butter. tofu is a nice vegan substitute for paneer.

    This looks great Dassana!! i am going to try this tomorrow as my cook will be on a leave…All your recipes are so good for health Dassana. You are doing a noble deed by teaching people to to cook healthy yet maintain the great taste 🙂 Restaurants make us sick and are heavy on pockets.

    Hi , Tried this for lunch today and it came out very tasty. The pav bhaji masala, amchur and kasuri methi gave a very nice flavour and taste to this dish. Had it with phulkas. Enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for the lovely recipe.

    With this recipe , I have literally fallen for u 🙂 … This site has become my fav now !! I can enjoy restaurant style dishes at home, thanks to u … 🙂

    I needed a small advice , how do i keep my rotis soft for a long time ?

    Dassana, when I make tawa paneer, I just crumble the paneer before adding…..as this can be done quickly….and always my last resort for a quick curry…..next time I make, I will try with pav bhaji masala and cube the paneer as this looks more yum…yummy clicks as always!

    this reminds me a lot of my hyd days. a restaurant there made a killer version of tawa paneer and i used to go there so often. hope you have been good 🙂
