Paneer Butter Masala
Advertisement
Paneer Butter Masala is one of the popular paneer recipes of the North Indian cuisine in which the soft yet firm paneer cubes are dunked into a creamy tomato gravy.This goes well with roti,naan,jeera rice,veg pulav etc..
My version of this famous recipe is simple,easy to make,moderately spiced up and yet flavourful as it is supposed to be.
