Note & Pro Cooking Tips

Note

Pro Tips

Paneer Quality: Always use fresh and soft paneer. It should be firm yet able to crumble easily. If using store-bought paneer, soak it in warm water for 10-15 minutes before using to make it soft.

Tomato Puree: If you prefer a smoother gravy, use canned tomato puree instead of fresh tomatoes.

Spices: Roasting spices before grinding them will enhance the flavor of your dish. Also, remember to adjust the spice level according to your taste.

Creaminess: For a richer and creamier paneer butter masala, you can add some cashew paste or almond paste to the gravy.

Butter and Cream: These are key ingredients in this dish. Don't skimp on them if you want the authentic restaurant-style flavor. But if you're health-conscious, you can reduce the amount slightly.

Cooking Paneer: Avoid cooking paneer for too long as it can become rubbery. Just simmer it in the gravy for a few minutes before turning off the heat.

Instant Pot Cooking: When cooking in an Instant Pot, make sure you release the pressure naturally to avoid curdling the cream.

Garnish: Garnishing with fresh coriander leaves and a swirl of cream just before serving can enhance the look and flavor of your paneer butter masala.

Remember, the secret to a great paneer butter masala lies in the quality of ingredients and the love you put into cooking it. Happy cooking!
