Paneer and bell peppers cooked in a thick tomato-onion masala with freshly crushed coriander seed and dried red chilli. Bold, semi-dry and one of the best vegetarian mains on our Westwinds menu.
Kadhai paneer takes its name from the wok-shaped kadhai it is cooked in. High heat and constant tossing keep the peppers crunchy and the masala tight around the paneer, so this is a curry you eat with bread rather than pour over rice.
The signature flavour is kadhai masala — coriander seed and dried red chilli crushed coarsely just before cooking. That rough grind is why it tastes brighter and more aromatic than a smooth, creamy paneer curry, and why it is a favourite with vegetarian guests across Martindale, Taradale and Castleridge.
Kadhai paneer is semi-dry, pepper-forward and spiced with crushed whole coriander. Shahi paneer is smooth, mild and cashew-cream rich. Order kadhai when you want texture and bite; order shahi when you want comfort. Both are $15.99 on our Veg. Mains menu.
Tandoori roti, butter naan or garlic naan — the thick masala is made for scooping.
Jeera rice works if you prefer rice, though this dish shines with bread.
Mix raita, dahi or a green salad balance the crushed-chilli heat.

“Excellent experience overall. The Indo-Chinese dishes like paneer chilli were a highlight. Music and atmosphere make it a fun place to visit after work.”
