Paneer butter masala recipe | restaurant style paneer butter masala

 About Paneer Butter Masala 

Paneer Butter Masala is the king of paneer curries, one of the North Indian or Punjabi curries.  It is known for its sweet and spicy taste made with fresh cream and soft cheese.  This Paneer Curry dish is also known as Paneer Butter Masala Recipe or Paneer Makhani.  Paneer recipes are great for vegetarians as they are rich in protein. This restaurant-style Paneer Butter Masala is one of my favorite recipes.

Paneer makhani / paneer butter masala


For this Paneer Butter Masala recipe, the first step is to make tomato and onion paste and use white onion wherever possible as it contains sweetness.  Then roasted spices like green chilies, ginger, coriander, red chili powder, Kasturi methi, cumin powder, and garam masala are added and curry is made.  Then pieces of soft paneer are added and cooked on a slow flame.  Then finally this dish is made by adding a lot of butter or white Makhan.  The taste of which is like I can tell you.


We may think that all Paneer recipes are the same but they are different in taste and method of preparation. For example, in this Butter Paneer recipe, the base is prepared with onion and tomato and more  Butter or white Makhan is added. But it is made differently compared to Matar Paneer or Kadai Paneer.  If you cook it with green peas you get matar paneer, if you cook it with spinach you get palak paneer, if you cook it with green vegetables you get saag paneer. You can enjoy Paneer Makhni with roti, chapati, naan, and rice.
