Method for Shorshe Posto Paneer Bhapa

  1. Heat a little P Mark Mustard Oil in a pan. When it reaches that signature pungent aroma, slide in the paneer cubes and shallow-fry until lightly golden. Set aside.

  2. In the meantime, soak poppy seeds, black & yellow mustard seeds, and cashews in warm water for 15 minutes.

  3. Grind this mixture with green chillies, coconut, and a splash of water to get a smooth, creamy paste.

  4. Transfer the paste to a bowl, add turmeric, salt, and curd. Mix it.

  5. Drop the fried paneer into this mixture, coating each piece generously.

  6. Scoop everything into a steel tiffin/dabba — the more old-school, the better.

  7. Steam it for about 20–25 minutes till the flavours settle in and the oil begins to release beautifully.

  8. Finish with a drizzle of P Mark Mustard Oil, slit green chillies, and a couple of dry red chillies on top.
