Paneer Butter Masala recipe / Paneer Makhani recipe.


I am a great fan of paneer and always love to prepare dish using paneer. So one day evening, it was snowing heavily and by seeing the weather outside, i was craving to eat something hot, tasty and delicious. So checked my fridge and my most favorite paneer was sitting there, by seeing that first thought came into my mind is eating soft and fluffy chapathis with creamy and tasty paneer butter masala. We all know paneer butter masala is a famous north Indian dish and it is very easy to prepare with the ingredients available at home. Most of them use cream to prepare paneer butter masala, but i thought to prepare a low fat version so i skipped fresh cream. Then you can wonder what i used to get that creamy texture:-), that you can check in my recipe given below. I hope you all try this in home and share your valuable comments with me.
