PANEER BUTTER MASALA
Paneer Butter Masala is
a very popular and delicious preparation invented in English time. This is also
one of the popular recipe like Palak paneer, Kadai paneer, Shahi Paneer etc. I
found this recipe a long years back when I started my carrier in Food Industry.
I remember once I made it at home for some guests, every one said WOW. It’s very simple and easy to make
this creamy and delicious dish. Paneer Butter Masala well served with Indian
breads like roti, chapatti, paratha, Naan or any varieties of rice Pulao, jeera
rice, vegetable Biryani.
This paneer Butter
Masala recipe has Onion, Garlic in it. You can also make Paneer Butter Masala
without of it. Choose riped tomatoes to get right color, and use correct quantities
of ingredients to get right consistency. Use only Kashmiri Chili Powder which
will give you a correct color.
