Paneer Butter Masala recipe (serving size -2)

Ingredients​

1 tablespoons olive oil / vegetable oil

1/2 stick butter

1/2 cup diced onion

1 cup canned petite diced tomato

2 cups cubed paneer ( fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1 & 1/2 tablespoons Santhoshi's Paneer butter masala spice blend

​

Procedure

1. Place a wide heavy bottomed pan on the stove. Switch on the heat.

​

2. Add 1 tablespoons of oil and 1/2 stick butter. Melt the butter on low heat.

​

3. When the butter has melted add 1/2 cup deiced onion into the pan. Cook on medium heat until the onion turns light golden brown in color.

​

4. When the onion turns golden brown in color, add 1 cup canned petite diced tomato, 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of Santhoshi's Paneer butter masala spice blend and 1/2 cup of water. Mix the contents well.

​

5. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium heat. Stir the contents occasionally to avoid burning.

​

6. When the water content reduces the sauce will turn thicker in consistency. ( this process will take about 5 minutes on a gas stove and 7 to 10 minutes on a electric stovetop)

​

7. When the sauce turns thicker add 2 cups of paneer cubes (you can either use fresh paneer cut into small cubes or you can use frozen paneer) and 1 cup water.

​

8. Mix the contents well and keep the pan open. Cook on medium heat and stir the contents occasionally to avoid burning.

​

9. When the sauce starts to boil, add 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.

​

10. Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes and then switch off the heat. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed. Paneer butter masala is ready to be served.
