Paneer Butter Masala

This is first time I am posting a recipe online.. Though it is not entirely my creation but I mixed and matched techniques of 2-3 recipes I found online to come up with this one

I am not very fond of paneer but my family is and they liked it very much.. Hope you like it too

Cooking Time : 20 mins(approx)
Serves 4-5 people

Ingredients :

4 medium size tomatoes
2 medium size onions
250 gms Paneer
1 packet Amul cream
1/2 tsp sabut dhaniya
2-3 Laung cloves
1-2 Dalchini strands
1-2 green chillies
1/4 tsp red chilli
1/4 tsp haldi
1/4 tsp pissa hua dhaniya
salt according to taste
4-5 tablesp butter

Method:

  • Heat 2-3 tablesp butter in a pan.
  • Add crushed laung, sabut dhaniya and dalchini. Cook for 2-3 mins
  • Add green chillies, diced tomatoes and Onions. Add all masale. Cook till the oil seperates
  • Cool the mixture and blend it in mixi
  • Heat remaining butter in pan. Add the mixture and bring it to boil
  • Sim the gas and add Amul cream to the mixture
  • Stir continously to avoid lump formation in cream. Keep on stirring until the mixture comes to boil
  • Add 1/2 cup water and bring it to boil
  • Add paneer chunks and simmer it for few mins
  • Garnish with Hara Dhaniya

* Cooking tomatoes and then making its paste gives the sabzi a rich and creamy texture
* Keep in mind the salt content of butter as well while adding salt to the sabzi
