Tips:

• For a spicier curry, add a chopped green chili pepper to the pan with the onion.
• If you don't have paneer, you can use tofu or tempeh instead.
• Afghani paneer is traditionally served with naan, but it can also be served over rice or with quinoa.

Avias Triply Kadai
Avias Triply Kadai is a great choice for making Afghani paneer. The Triply Kadai is made with three layers of stainless steel, which helps to distribute heat evenly and prevent sticking. It is also dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup a breeze.
