Paalkatti Chettinad Curry Recipe (Chettinad Style Paneer Kurma Recipe) is a recipe that has been originated from the traditional Chettinad style curry. The authentic Chettinad masala is prepared by roasting a blend of spices and blending it into a smooth paste and then adding it into the sauteed pearl onion and tomato to give it a rich and spicy flavor. The paneer is just simmered into the curry.

Palkatti is a Tamil word which refers to the process of how a cottage cheese or paneer is made. It literally means "milk that is held".

Serve your spicy Paalkatti Chettinad Curry Recipe along with Tawa Paratha and Carrot Cucumber Tomato Salad with Lemon and Coriander  for a weekday dinner.
