Amidst the roaring success of his ongoing “Dil-Luminati” tour, renowned singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh took a festive pause to celebrate Diwali in his unique, homely style. The global sensation brought his culinary passion to Instagram, sharing a step-by-step recipe for a delicious vegetarian dish – Kadai Paneer – and fans can’t stop raving. The evening included traditional diya and rangoli decor, sparklers with friends, and a soulful cooking session showcasing Diljit’s love for flavor-packed vegetarian recipes.
Diljit’s Festive Twist on Kadai Paneer: An Authentic Recipe
Diljit begins his Diwali special meal by displaying his kitchen setup, adorned with neatly peeled and chopped vegetables and spices lined up for a seamless cooking experience. Here’s how the star brings his Kadai Paneer to life:
- Prepping the Vegetables: Diljit starts with a hot pan, sautéing sliced bell peppers and onions until they’re tender and slightly caramelized. These are then set aside, allowing him to focus on the star ingredient – paneer cubes – which he quickly sears for a light, golden texture.
- Creating the Masala Base: A splash of oil in the kadai, followed by garlic and finely chopped onions, sets the aromatic stage. Once golden brown, he adds freshly diced tomatoes, cooking them down to create a robust gravy base.
- Spice It Right: Diljit’s recipe features whole spices toasted for maximum flavor. In true Punjabi fashion, he grinds these spices to bring out their depth, combining them with his onion-tomato mixture to achieve that rich, traditional taste.
- Final Touches: After simmering the masala, he adds the pre-cooked bell peppers, onions, and finally, the paneer cubes. With a quick stir and a sprinkle of kasuri methi and fresh coriander leaves, his Kadai Paneer masterpiece is complete.
