With This Easy Paneer Butter Masala Recipe, Savor the Ideal Comfort Food

Hey there, lovers of food! We’re exploring the delicious realm of Paneer Butter Masala today. This recipe will become your new favorite if you enjoy rich, creamy, and slightly spicy foods. You’ll also wonder why you ever bothered ordering takeout because it’s so simple. Come on, let’s cook!

Ingredients:

  • 250g Paneer (cubed)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (because it’s Butter Masala, duh!)
  • 2 Tablespoon Oil
  • 1 Large Onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 Tomatoes (pureed)
  • 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • One teaspoon of red chili powder, or to taste
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cream
  • 1/4 cup Cashew Paste (blend cashews after soaking in warm water).
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh Coriander Leaves (for garnish)

Method to the Madness:



  1. Butter Up That Paneer:
    In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil. Fry the paneer cubes till they are golden brown on all sides after adding them. Put them aside and fight the impulse to consume them all at once.
  2. Sauté Game Strong:
    In the same pan, add the remaining butter and oil. Add the chopped onions, tossing them around until they become golden brown. (Pro tip: We want all that sweet, sweet caramelization, so the browner, the better!)
  3. Spice it Up:
    Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute, or until your kitchen smells fantastic, to add some heat. Add the powders of cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder now. Cook for a further minute after combining.
  4. Tomato Time: Add the tomato puree and heat until the mixture begins to separate the oil. It may require many minutes, but the secret to a fantastic sauce is patience, my buddy!
  5. Creamy Dreamy: Add the fresh cream and cashew paste, stirring constantly to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed. Simmer it for a few minutes.
  6. Paneer Reunion:
    Reunited paneer cubes should be carefully inserted back into the pan. Toss to coat with the rich sauce. After adding salt to taste, scatter the garam masala over top. Five more minutes will help it cook.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot alongside rice, roti, or naan.



Cooking Tips:

  • Paneer Perfect: For extra soft paneer, soak it in warm water for 10 minutes before frying.
  • Cashew Paste: If you’re out of cashews, use almond paste. Your secret is safe with me!
