Paneer Butter Kadhai
A delightful fusion of two beloved North Indian classics, Paneer Butter Kadhai combines the rich creaminess of Paneer Butter Masala with the bold, rustic flavors of Kadhai Paneer. This dish features soft cubes of paneer cooked in a luscious, buttery tomato-based gravy infused with the smoky, robust taste of freshly ground kadhai masala.
The base is prepared by sautéing onions, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger, then blending it into a smooth sauce enriched with butter and a splash of fresh cream. The addition of sautéed bell peppers and onions gives the curry its signature kadhai character and a subtle crunch. Whole spices like cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds, and dried red chilies are toasted to release deep, aromatic flavors that balance the creamy richness beautifully.
Finished with a touch of Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves), fresh coriander, and a swirl of cream, Paneer Butter Kadhai is a true treat — offering a perfect blend of mellow, buttery smoothness and vibrant, spiced warmth. Served hot with naan, roti, or jeera rice, it’s an irresistible dish for paneer lovers who want the best of both worlds.
