Paneer Butter Masala…Saying that name itself makes my mouth watery…This delicacy is a must order dish whenever we go to a near by vegetarian restaurant called as Arya Bhavan..They make a awesome paneer butter masala which I can eat it all day…I always want to imitate that dish and I made my first version of this in my blog which turned out pretty good..To view that recipe click here..
But I am not satisfied with that recipe..I always want to post a better way to make that dish..Hence this recipe..I can promise you that this one was way better than the first one…And who knows one day I can post another recipe which may be better than this..So without any delay..Off you go for the step by step recipe with pictures..

looks very inviting. yummy!
yummy paneer butter masala….
Ohhh I love paneer! This looks amazing and its actually a little easier to make than I thought (I always imagine that a million different types of spices go into Indian food). Hopefully I can find a store to get all the ingredients so I can try to make it at home!!

Nice presentation..
I tried your recipe. I got a lot of compliments. Thanks.
yr pictorial is really superb
Thanks for this recipe ..I tried this today , but noticed that milk curdled at the end..Am I missing something here? Thanks !
@Sujitha I think you must have boiled it for a little longer. After adding milk just boil it for 5 mins.
Hi,tried ur recipe.is the milk should be boiled and cooled before adding.we found a bit sour taste in the dish.need to add more sugar r anything else.girija
@Anonymous yes use boiled milk. no need to cool it. you can add more sugar if the gravy is sour
It serves for two people or three people
@Rakshith Mit will serve upto 3 people
We had a get together in our church today.. I made this for nearly 20 ppl and the result was awesome. . Everyone appreciated me. Thanks a lot for d nice recipe.. god bless u
It is mouth watering will try it on sunday. Is it possible to skip milk
@AnonymousYou can add cream instead, but you cannot skip both. Because that what gives the creaminess.

Hi Aarthi, i tried this recipe now. It came out well, but i added milk without boiling. Will the curry spoil after a while?
