Paneer Butter Masala



Ingredients:

  • Paneer cubes - 200gms
  • Tomato puree - 200gms
  • Onion - 3 nos (medium)
  • Kashmiri chilli powder - 2 tspn
  • Chilli powder - 1 tspn
  • Coriander powder - 1tspn
  • Ginger garlic paste - 1 tspn
  • Kasuri methi - 1 tspn
  • Cloves - 3 nos
  • Bay leaf - 1 no
  • Cinnamon stick - 1 no ( 1 1/4 inch )
  • Fresh cream - 3 tblspn
  • Coriander leaf - for garnishing
  • Salt - to taste
  • Oil - 2 tblspn
  • Butter - 3 to 4 tblspn

Method:

  • I usually don't fry paneer in oil if you want, deep fry paneer in oil and put in normal water then squeeze it and keep it aside
  • In a pan add 1 tblspn oil and half tblspn butter and fry cinnamon,cloves, bayleaf ,ginger garlic paste,followed by onion and saute till onion turns golden brown cool it and grind it in mixie    ( if you are using tomato add along with onion and saute )
  • Heat 1 tblpsn oil and 1 tblpsn butter and add the grinded paste, 1/4 cup water keep in low flame for a minute
  • Then add chilli powder, kashmiri chilli powder, coriander powder salt and keep in low flame till oil seperates out
  • Then add paneer pieces , kasuri methi and mix well, keep in low flame for 2 to 3 minutes 
  • Switch off the stove add fresh cream and coriander and serve hot.

Note:

  • Add boiled peas along with paneer and make paneer mutter masala
  • I used 1/4 cup milk and 2 tblpsn curd instead of fresh cream
  • For authentic taste use crushed coriande seeds 1 tspn 
  • Since i like the taste i added 1/2 tspn garam masala also
