Paneer butter masala, how to prepare paneer butter masala

Paneer butter masala || butter paneer masala ||  paneer makhani is one of  the favorite paneer recipe for all paneer lovers 😍. My first order when I visit any restaurant or dhaba is paneer butter masala with butter naan or with veg biryani 😃.  This paneer butter masala goes well with naan or with any rice items. Butter and cashew nut paste, fresh cream adds rich and good taste to the gravy. If you do not have fresh cream use mazhai (megada in telugu, malai in Hindi). Lets start recipe..

Note


◆ Instead of adding elachi, Cinnamon stick and clove while grinding, you can also add it in step 1 before adding red chilli and coriander powder.


◆ As we are adding fresh cream and cashew nut paste the gravy will be sweet so i added 1 green chilli, its optional you can skip it.


Tips


●  Flitering the masala paste is optional. But i prefer to get smooth texture.


● Adding cashew nut paste gives rich taste to the gravy.
