Paneer-er Dalna: Perfect Niramish to Serve at Your Brunch

Niramish Chanar Dalna is a quick and simple Bengali paneer curry. It's named after a restaurant in Calcutta in which it was originally served. Niramish signifies that there is no onion or garlic in the dish. This tomato-based curry includes soft paneer and potatoes, as well as a selection of spices, and can be prepared in a jiffy. It's a fantastic meal for a busy weeknight if served with hot basmati rice and bread. Paneer is a relatively new addition to Bengali cuisine. In modern Bengali cuisine, Paneer is a popular vegetarian protein option due to its ease of accessibility. Paneer has become a preferred vegetarian protein option in modern Bengal because of the same. Chunky paneer and potato fried in oil and simmered in a moderately spiced curry sauce are excellent for weeknight dinners or lunches. You won't have to seek out any hard-to-find spices because they are not overloaded with cream or fat and they suck up the flavour (not at all loaded with cream and fat) and make a huge pot of delicious curry.
