Today I am sharing one of the most beloved Paneer Dish from the indian cuisine:the famous Paneer Butter Masala! You can literally find this dish in the menu of all Indian Restaurants.
Paneer Butter Masala is one of my family favourites too. Often I make it for dinner as it is a very quick and rich recipe. It is the “Unofficial Culture” in the Army to show up at officers houses unannounced. As fun as it is when we are doing it, its always a drag being on the receiving end of it. But we love it anyway! We all really love the gesture and always welcome our guests, irrespective of the time. At these type of situations Paneer Makhani is my knight in shining armour.
The recipe is very easy to make. You can use ready-made tomato puree or blanched tomato too. Paneer can be bought ready from the market or you can make the paneer at home. I always make paneer at home, as it gives paneer a soft and fresh texture. Use nuts in the gravy: Yes, it makes the sauce very thick and creamy
Paneer makhani is best served with rotis, parathas or with naans. In formal occasions I serve Paneer Makhani with naan and a side veggie salad. You can also serve paneer makhani with jeera rice and Tandoori roti.
