    Punjabi paneer butter masala is very rich and popular curry from Indian cuisine. Most of the chances are that you already have this delicious paneer recipe in your recipe collection. If you already not have a favourite, Learn how to make paneer butter masala that tastes awesome.

    paneer-makhani

    For making paneer butter masala, soft and creamy paneer cubes are cooked in a rich butter curry which is mildly spicy, ever so slightly sweet and tangy with lots of tomatoes in it. The makhani sauce is rich in butter and cashew paste. Added milk cream makes it even richer and simple flavours of dry spices and the heavenly aroma of Kasuri methi makes the butter paneer even more delicious.

    All of this sometimes that is actually overdone with a layer of fat floating on the surface, I hardly find that appetizing. Though all of us sometimes want to prepare Dhaba style Paneer butter masala at home. Adding what I like, taking out what does not suit our taste buds, actually, that’s the beauty of home cooking. Isn’t it 🙂

    For me, I need my curries to be rich creamy and spicy but in a balanced sort of way. So as usual in my paneer recipe, I have tried to keep the flavours up, and that floating layer of fat away, without compromising the creaminess of paneer butter masala.

    To keep my cooking to easy and manageable so most of the times I have homemade cooking pastes, bhuna masala , Makhani sauce dal tadka ready and stored in my fridge and also some semi-cooked parathas in the fridge.

    Paneer Butter Masala

    For this paneer butter masala, I use homemade makhani gravy base. So, if you have your makhani gravy base ready all you need to do for making this luscious paneer masala is to add the paneer cubes and simmer them for few minutes in the buttery, smooth gravy and enjoy the goodness of Indian cooking just in few minutes.
