Butter masala is my favorite go to curries even in restaurant or take away, even it is paneer or chicken. I simply love it. The simply silky gravy with a little tangyness and sweetness makes it so unique and mouth watering. Recently i found the trick for making the perfect butter chicken. Check out my punjabi butter chicken.

I have posted a restaurant style butter paneer recipe, but i recently discovered another yummy butter paneer recipe that taste way better than that. Will post it soon. Keep checking my blog untill then. This recipe is made with potatoes and i should tell you this has become my latest favorite. I served it along with Naan bread. YUMMY IT WAS..
