Paneer Butter Masala
A timeless vegetarian classic, Paneer Butter Masala is a rich, creamy North Indian curry loved for its mellow, mildly sweet, and buttery flavors. Soft cubes of fresh paneer (Indian cottage cheese) are gently simmered in a smooth, luscious tomato-based gravy enriched with butter and fresh cream.

The sauce is made by sautéing onions, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic until soft, then blending to a silky puree. This base is then cooked with butter, mild aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, garam masala, and a hint of Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) which adds a signature restaurant-style flavor. A touch of cashew paste is often added for extra richness and natural sweetness, perfectly balancing the spices without overpowering the delicate taste of paneer.

Finished with a swirl of fresh cream and a sprinkle of fresh coriander, Paneer Butter Masala is served piping hot — best enjoyed with naan, roti, or steamed basmati rice. Its velvety texture and mild yet flavorful taste make it a comforting, crowd-pleasing dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
