    About Paneer Butter Masala (Paneer Makhani)

    Paneer Butter Masala (Paneer Makhani, Butter Paneer) is one of the most popular North Indian curries where fresh and soft paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cubes are cooked in creamy, rich, and silky smooth tomato onion gravy. It is mildly sweet, spicy, and very delicious.

    You will find this curry on the menu of almost all the North Indian restaurants in India and worldwide. Now you can make restaurant-style paneer butter masala at home using my easy and simple recipe.

    This recipe uses pantry staples like butter, heavy cream, whole spices, onions, tomatoes, cashew nuts, etc., and comes together in under 30 minutes.

    Paneer Makhani is best served with butter naan, garlic naan, tandoori roti, or jeera rice. When I make it for my everyday meals, I serve it with hot phulka smeared with some ghee.

    This paneer butter masala recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free. You can easily double or triple the recipe.

    Ingredients

    Paneer Butter Masala Ingredients.

    Paneer Butter Masala Ingredients 3

    Paneer – Paneer is easily available in Indian grocery stores. I have also seen it at a few Costco and Whole Foods outlets.

    You can choose between fresh, packaged, or frozen paneer.

    Always wash the paneer slab after taking it out from the packet. It has a slimy layer, which might change the dish’s taste if not washed well.

    If the paneer is old and has become hard, boil it in water for 2-3 minutes. Discard the water and then use the paneer. It is a simple trick that magically refreshes the old chewy paneer.

    If you use frozen paneer, thaw it over the kitchen counter until it reaches room temperature. Cut it into cubes and soak it in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain and use.

    Butter & Oil – You will need butter and cooking oil to make this paneer makhani recipe. Oil is added so that the butter doesn’t burn while cooking. Butter adds a rich taste, so do not miss on the same. You can use either salted butter or unsalted one. If using salted butter, reduce the salt in the curry.

    Whole Spices – Adding whole spices like cloves (laung), green cardamom (hair elaichi), and black cardamom (badi elaichi) adds a very nice flavor to this curry. Do not skip.

    Spice Powders – Spice powders like coriander powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, and garam masala powder are added to enhance the taste of this butter paneer gravy.

    Tomato Puree and Tomato Ketchup – Store-bought tomato puree (or tomato paste) and tomato ketchup is a must to make this recipe. Since they are much more concentrated than homemade ones, they give the dish a very characteristic restaurant-like taste.

    Cashews – This adds a rich taste and creamy texture to the gravy. You can also use blanched almonds instead of cashews.

    Heavy Cream – Unsweetened heavy cream gives the curry a rich flavor and texture.

    Others – You will also need red onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Make sure to choose the ripest of tomatoes because they give the taste and color to the final dish.

    Finally, do not forget to add honey to balance the flavors. Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) is a must too.

    I used Indian green chilies, but you can use Serrano peppers, Thai green chilies, or jalapeno peppers.

    How To Make Paneer Butter Masala

    Heat 1 tablespoon butter (salted or unsalted) and 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    Butter and oil heating in a pan.

    Once the butter is hot, add

    • 2-3 cloves
    • 1 whole black cardamom
    • 2-3 whole green cardamom

    and fry for 3-4 seconds.

    Cloves, black cardamom and green cardamoms added to the pan.

    Add ¼ cup chopped onions and saute for 2-3 minutes or until they turn translucent, stirring frequently.

    Onions added to the pan.

    Add

    • 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
    • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (chopped)
    • 5-6 cloves of garlic (peeled and chopped)
    • 2 green chilies (slit into half)

    and cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are mushy. Keep stirring frequently.

    Tomatoes, ginger, garlic and green chilies added to the pan.

    Now add 20-25 whole cashew nuts to the skillet and cook for another minute.

    Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool completely.

    Cashew nuts added to the pan.

    Transfer the cooled mixture to a blender along with ¼ cup water and blend to make a smooth paste.

    Tomato mixture and water added to a blender.
    Smooth paste made.

    Heat the remaining 3 tablespoon butter in the same skillet over medium heat.

    Remaining butter added to the pan.

    Add the ground paste to the skillet.

    Add

    • 2 teaspoon coriander powder
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
    • 2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
    • ¼ cup tomato puree (or 2 tablespoon tomato paste)
    • 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
    • 1 teaspoon salt

    and stir until combined.

    Ground paste, tomato puree, tomato ketchup, and spice powders added to the pan.

    Cut 1 lb (500 g) paneer into ½ inch cubes and add them to the skillet. Stir to coat the cubes with the gravy and cook for 3-4 minutes.

    Paneer cubes added to the pan.

    Add some water if the gravy is too thick.

    Add

    • ½ teaspoon garam masala spice mix
    • ¼ cup unsweetened heavy cream
    • 2 teaspoon honey
    • 2 tablespoon Kasuri methi.

    Cook for another minute.

    Check for salt and add more if required.

    Garam masala, heavy cream, honey, and kasuri methi added to the pan.

    Transfer the curry to the serving bowl. Garnish with heavy cream swirls and serve hot.

    Ready paneer butter masala.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make vegan paneer makhani?

    1. Swap paneer with tofu.
    2. Butter with vegan butter or oil.
    3. Heavy cream with cashew or coconut cream.

    How to make Jain (No Onion No Garlic) paneer butter masala?

    To make a Jain version, skip adding onions, ginger, and garlic to the recipe. All the other ingredients are allowed in Jainism, and since we have added very few onions and garlic to the recipe, it will not affect the taste much.

    Can we use milk instead of cream to make butter paneer masala?

    It is not recommended. Adding milk will make the curry thinner, and there is a chance of curdling too, when mixed with acidic ingredients such as tomatoes.

    What can be used instead of cashews?

    You can substitute cashews with poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, melon seeds, hulled white sesame seeds, or soaked and peeled almonds. If you have nut allergies, avoid almonds and cashews and use other options.

    How to make sure the paneer is not chewy?

    Sometimes, the texture of the store-bought paneer is chewy and rubbery, spoiling the taste of the entire dish. A simple tip to prevent this is to soak the paneer cubes in hot water for 20 minutes.

    Is paneer butter masala good for health?

    No, this dish has a lot of butter and cream and is not recommended to eat daily. Make it only for special occasions and eat it in moderation.

    Instant Pot Paneer Butter Masala

    To make it in an instant pot, add onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, green chilies, cashews, cloves, green cardamoms, and black cardamom with 1 cup of water to the instant pot.

    Secure the lid and position the steam valve to the sealing position. Press PRESSURE COOK and set the timer for 6 minutes at high pressure.

    Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Release the remaining pressure manually and open the pot. Let the mixture cool down a bit. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Transfer the paste to a bowl.

    If you do not have an immersion blender, add the mixture to a regular blender and blend to make a smooth paste.

    Rinse the insert and put it back. Press SAUTE. Add butter to the instant pot. Add the tomato-onion paste, tomato puree, tomato ketchup, spice powders, and ½ cup of water. Let it cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in between so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom.

    Once the gravy is cooked, add paneer cubes, heavy cream, honey, and Kasuri methi and cook for a minute. Serve hot.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    Use canned (tetra pack) tomato puree to make butter paneer masala. The taste of the canned puree is intense and cannot be replicated by homemade puree.

    Grind the masala to a fine paste. The gravy should be silky smooth. You can even pass the paste through a fine-mesh strainer to get really creamy curry.

    Add the cream and honey at the end of the cooking. If you plan to freeze the gravy, skip adding honey and cream and add them when just before you are ready to serve.

    You can also give a smoky flavor to this curry by keeping a piece of hot red charcoal on an aluminum foil over the curry and drizzling some ghee on it. Close the lid immediately for the curry to soak the flavor of the smoke.

    You can pan-fry the paneer until golden brown before adding it to the curry instead of adding it raw.

    If you make this paneer makhani curry for everyday meals, you can avoid adding cream for a comparatively healthier version.

    Paner can be replaced with firm tofu, cooked chickpeas, corn kernels, or grilled veggies.

    Serving Suggestions

    This curry goes well with any Indian bread. Serve it with Plain Naan, Garlic Naan, Roti, Tawa Paratha, Tandoori Roti, Rumali Roti, Laccha Paratha, and Missi Roti.

    You can even serve it with Steamed Basmati Rice, Ghee Rice, Jeera Rice, Matar Pulao, or Veg Pulao.

    Storage Suggestions

    This curry will last in the fridge for 2 to 3 days when stored properly in an airtight container. Add water and adjust the consistency if the gravy has become thick.

    You can also make the gravy without adding paneer cubes & cream to it and store it in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days. When you want to serve it, heat the gravy, add in cream and paneer cubes, cook for a minute, and your dish is ready to serve.

    You can freeze this gravy in a freezer-safe container for 2-3 months. Just thaw over the countertop for 3-4 hours, heat again in a pan, and add paneer cubes and cream before serving.

      Looks great! Paneer butter masala is always loved. Especially by kids. My daughter is just the same. She can have paneer everyday without getting bored and I am forever doing experiments on that poor slab of cottage cheese 😛 The pictures are so lovely!! Great work.

      Wow! This looks absolutely amazing! I think my curries up to this point are probably more pedestrian than what you’ve put together here — in fact, I’ve never heard of a few of the ingredients.. And paneer… never tried it. What is it made from? The look reminds me of tofu, but something tells me I’m off base there. That sauce looks absolutely vibrant – and with all the spices – I’ll bet it positively jumps on your tongue!

      Hi,

      I have a question, after adding the spices, tomato puree, ketchup, etc., you mentioned we just have to mix until combined, so dont we have to cook the spices and tomato puree really well before we add the Paneer?

      Thanks!
