PANNER BUTTER MASALA - Home cooked Style

Tweet

I have already posted a recipe on Paneer Butter Masala - restuarant style. Though it is a fool proof recipe and tastes great, I prefer to make it with fresh ingredients for every day cooking.My daughter loves paneer and I make this dish almost every alternate week end.

Ingredients:

Onions chopped	1 medium sized
Tomato chopped	3 medium sized
Paneer cubed	1.5 cups (or as desired)
Green chillies	1
Chilli powder	1 tsp
Coriander powder	1 tsp
Ginger minced	2 tsp
Kasuri Methi	1 tablespoon
Salt	1 tsp
Cream/thick milk	1/2 cup
Butter	2 tablespoon

Procedure:
1) Grind together tomato and ginger.
2) Heat the butter in a pan and add onions & green chillies and saute until it becomes translucent

3) Add the tomato paste and cook. Add more water if required
4) Add chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, salt and bring it to a boil

5) Close the pan and cook in a medium flame until the butter/oil separates out
6) Meanwhile slightly fry the paneer in a tawa

7) Add Kasuri methi leaves ad mix well
8) Finally add the milk/cream and the fried paneer

Notes:
Immerse the panneer is hot water to 5 minutes to make it soft
If no cream is available, evaporated milk can also be added
