In India, no onion, and garlic diet regime is one of the most common food preferences. A large number of the Indian population observes this kind of Sattvic diet regime. Hence, there are tons of Indian food recipes without onion or garlic.

Jain Paneer Makhani is one such no onion no garlic paneer recipe. It is the sattvic version of my restaurant style paneer butter masala.

The bright color of the gravy comes from the red bell pepper and the tomato puree. The magic ingredient in this no onion and garlic paneer makhani is the red bell pepper.

Who could have thought that a bell pepper-based sauce would taste so good in an Indian curry?

No artificial color or tastemaker is added in the making of these dishes. It is an all-natural, homemade curry sauce that does the magic and the end result is a real outburst of flavors. After all, cooking should be fun and not some tedious, time-taking responsibility.
