Paneer Butter Masala-Restaurant Style Recipe-Step by step pictures

December 22, 2011 by PadhuSankar 145 Comments

Paneer butter masala is a delicious Punjabi dish made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese). After I did jeera pulao and paneer butter masala for a small get together, my friends wanted a step by step recipe for it, so here I am with a step by step recipe for India’s most popular paneer recipe. Today we will learn how to make paneer butter masala (Restaurant Style) in a very easy and simple manner.

Paneer butter masala

Paneer Butter Masala Recipe-Restaurant style


Paneer Butter Masala

 Prep Time : 15 mins

 Cook Time : 25 mins 
 Serves: 3-4
 Recipe Category: Side dish-Paneer Recipes
 Recipe Cuisine: Punjabi
 Author:Padhu Sankar

   Ingredients needed

   Onion – 2
   Tomato puree – 1 cup
   Ginger garlic paste -1 tbsp
   Paneer – 200 grams (I used home made paneer)
   Cashew nuts -2 tbsp
   Kasuri Methi -3/4 tsp (dry fenugreek leaves)
   Salt as required

   Spice Powder

   Garam masala powder – 1 tsp
   Coriander powder – 2 tsp
   Chilli Powder – 3/4 tsp
   Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp

   For the seasoning

    Butter- 2 tbsp + Oil-1 tbsp
    Cinnamon -1 inch piece
    Cloves- 2
    Cardamom -1

   For Garnishing

   Fresh cream – 3 tbsp (dairy cream)
   Finely chopped coriander leaves – 1 tbsp
   Kasuri methi – 3/4 tsp (optional)

Preparation


Making paneer butter masala is a breeze if you keep all the 4 paste ready.

Onion Paste -Remove the skin, chop the onion into 4 pieces and boil them in water for 10 minutes. Drain the water completely and grind it to a paste.

Tomato puree – Blanch tomatoes– (ie) put the tomatoes in boiling water and close it. After 10 minutes, drain the water, remove the skin and puree the tomatoes.

Cashew nut paste– Soak 2 tbsp of cashew nuts in hot water for 15 minutes and grind it to a paste.

Keep Ginger garlic paste ready -1 tbsp

Cut paneer into cubes. I used homemade paneer.

Method

Heat 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil, add cinnamon, cardamom and cloves, when it splutters, add onion paste and saute till it becomes golden brown, then add ginger garlic paste and saute for some more time.

Then add cashew nut paste and saute nicely for a few minutes till the raw smell goes.

Then add tomato puree and all the spice powder mentioned under spice powder.

how to prepare paneer butter masala


Cook until the raw smell of the tomato goes and it starts leaving oil.

Meant time shallow fry the paneer in just 2 -3 tsp of oil till it becomes slightly brown.

Add the paneer cubes to the cooked tomato paste.

paneer butter masala recipe

Add 3/4 cup of water, needed salt, kasuri methi and coriander leaves. Simmer and cook for a few minutes. You can adjust the consistency as per your personal preferences.

Garnish with fresh cream (I used amul cream) and serve hot with pulao or roti or chapati.

Paneer Butter Masala-Restaurant Style Recipe

Hope you found it easy. So next time you can prepare restaurant style paneer butter masala at home itself and win the appreciation of family members.

Important tips for beginners

You have to brown the onions or onion paste well. If needed you can add more oil than mentioned for sauteing the onion paste. Do not add tomato paste before that.

Do not add water without cooking the tomatoes well. You have to cook till the tomatoes starts leaving oil, only then, you should add water.

Adjust water according to the consistency required.

The above tips are common for most of the Punjabi subzi/ side dishes.

    Nice recipe. One more tip to add to your list. I have found deep frying the paneer and then soaking them in salted water for a minute and then squeezing the water out is an excellent way to cut back on the oil content in the dish.

    Is Blanching tomatoes done by boiling in hot water? I thought the traditional Indian way is to slow cook with little oil in a pan and covering it with a lid until cooked but not using water. Both tastes are quite different.

Yesterday I was browsing through your blog and saw this recipe and thought will give one shot last time and bingo! It was awesome. Everybody at home loved it and I felt so happy and satisfied. Thank You very much for sharing this recipe. It would be nice if you can publish a book with all your recipes. I will definitely buy it!

    Hi Padhu, thanks for the recipe and I would love to try it. But I have a problem in using ground onions. whenever i use the ground onions(boiled or raw, either ways it doesn't turn out good. It turns bitter or retains the raw smell, even after I fry it in medium flame until it turns golden brown. I make sure to remove the root of the onion before using it. So, not sure what else would be the problem. Do you have any idea?

    Hi Deepika, if that is the case, you can try sauteing the onions in 2 tsp of oil and then grind it to a paste. Sorry for the late reply as I was busy with Diwali celebrations

    Ashy baby – Blanching gives a different taste. You can do it without blanching also. In that case you have to fry the onions and tomatoes well and then make a paste otherwise you might get raw smell.

      Kasuri methi is dried fenugreek leaves. As it gives a nice flavor to the dish,I have used it. It is optional.

    Hi.

    By boiling the veggies and draining the water, will it not loose all the vitamins and minerals in it. Though it tastes good its not healthy I guess. Just a thought.

    Can we add condensed milk instead of dairy cream ?

      No they are different. Add milk/dairy cream (malai). You can skip that if you do not prefer.

      Nice to know that you have tried this recipe several times with success. I assume that you might have burnt the onions, otherwise there is hardly any chances for it to taste slightly bitter.

      There is a possibility. If you over roast the cumin or coriander seeds, the masala might have a bitter taste.

    Hai, When my son searched for paneer butter masala I suggested him to go through your recipe. He followed your instruction and end up in nice gravy as per his satisfaction. I have tried all type variety rice, appam, unniappam and so on. All come out nice. All are foolproof. We thank you for your sicerity.

    But, I have left over fresh cream.. I don’t want to waste. So what else can we do with the fresh cream.. Is it possible to take butter or paneer from it..
