May 27, 2017 by bhvi singhal

I read it just now.. And I m going to try it.. Well by reading recipe it's seeming delicious.. Hope my expectations become true..

May 17, 2017 by Ren

I tried this receipe and it tasted awful.. It had raw onion taste. I realized if u just make onion paste without sauteeing or leaving the onion in water for 10 mins before making a paste, it can taste bitter and leave the raw taste.. Had to throw the curry..

Response: Hello Ren, sorry to hear that. You can make the onion paste in 3 different ways - using raw onion, using sauteed onion, using boiled (cooked) onion. In this recipe, the onion paste is made using raw onion and hence it is required to cook it until raw smell goes away. This takes a little bit more time as we have used the raw onion (not cooked).

May 07, 2017 by Bhargavi

Really nice information. Thanks...

Apr 17, 2017 by Anjali Girdhar

I just love your recipe. Everyone in family was quite bored bored of the regular paneer gravy recipe and bhurji. This change was very much accepted? and enjoyed?by everyone, especially my son who loves paneer. Thank you so much.

Mar 14, 2017 by Naseer

I loved this recipe but as shown in the description it tastes good with steamed rice l I want to know a good steamed rice recipe

Feb 25, 2017 by Ashley Ricks

Response: Hello Ashley, I am not able to give you the answer as I have never made this with chicken. However, you can try by using the same marinade given in the recipe for the chicken.

Feb 12, 2017 by Monika

Response: Hello Monika, add the stir-fried capsicum with paneer in step-9.

Jan 29, 2017 by Manju Thomas

I tried this recipe and it turned out to be superb

Dec 20, 2016 by Shobana

Can we use thick coconut milk instead using fat milk and fresh cream?

Response: No Shobana, you cannot use thick coconut milk in this curry as it will change the taste of the curry. However, if you like the taste of the coconut in curry then you can try it. If you don't want to add milk or fresh cream, just skip them.

Dec 03, 2016 by Ruby

This recipe made my evening. I surprised my hubby n tried out with some garma garam kulcha. It's really worked out for the beautiful candle light dinner.
I appreciate the method of teaching on foodviva web.
Thanks.

Response: Welcome Ruby.

Nov 27, 2016 by nikhil raj

This one is really easy way to prepare paneer and got really good taste.

Nov 22, 2016 by Rita

Very bad recipe, milk curdled the entire gravy though I cooked on a low heat.

Response: Hello Rita, sorry to hear that this recipe didn't work for you. The milk curdles if the tomato puree is not cooked enough. Puree need to be cooked until oil starts to separate to prevent the curdling.

I absolutely loved this recipe! The flavours combined really well and every member of my family took a second helping haha! I used gowardhan butter for the recipe and found that it added that yummy extra buttery flavour to the dish without being overpowering.

Jan 30, 2016 by Yamini

Truely awesome recipe!!!!! My family loved it. I am surely going to try other recipes from your collection. Thanks a ton for sharing.

Jan 30, 2016 by Piya

Hi,
With the same recipe, can I use boneless chicken instead of paneer and make butter chicken masala? How would you do it differently? Please let me know :) I have tried this recipe for paneer and turned out well each time!

Response: Hi Piya, you can use the same gravy to make butter chicken masala. Add marinated and cooked chicken instead of paneer in this recipe.

Dec 23, 2015 by Shagun

Hi can I use canned tomatoe puree instead of making it myself as well as can I skip the cashews.

Response: You can use the canned tomato puree in this recipe. Cashew nuts make the curry creamy, you can use same amount of almonds (or poppy seeds and magajtari seeds).

Dec 15, 2015 by Harsh

i tired this recipe today and it came out really good. I would also like to further add that your panner butter masala recipe is far superior than the one mentioned over at vegrecipesofindia .. :_))

Hi i tried this recipe it was really awesome, thank you for the recipe.

Nov 27, 2015 by Katarina

I used fenugreek seeds instead of leaves and had to skip all the chillies because my friend is allergic to chillies. It turned out to be one of the best things I have ever made and so similar to the best paneer butter masala that I had in Delhi once.I used only cream and homemade paneer. It is so easy to make that it makes no sense to use tofu instead. Just boil 2 liters of fullfat milk stir in a small amount of no flavor highly acidic vinegar let it flock out stir slowly then filter it through a towel and press for a couple of hours, the linger the firmer the paneer will be.

Nov 27, 2015 by Sithara

Can I use curd instead of milk in step 10?

Response: No, you cannot use curd instead of milk.

Oct 19, 2015 by Parveen Banu

Tried it twice. Awesome taste, also healthy. We can use badam instead of cashew and instead of fresh cream can use top of the milk also.

Oct 18, 2015 by Rupal

Excellent recipe. I made it for my Indian In-laws and they loved it. I've made it twice and used a different type of tomato the second time. I think the first time the tomatoes were better; this last time the tomatoes weren't as meaty. Is there a type of tomato you recommend?

Response: Hi Justin, thanks for trying the recipe and I'm glad your in-laws loved it. Use the tomatoes that are meaty and less sour.

Aug 15, 2015 by Thushaliya

Not that much tasty some thing is missing.

Aug 13, 2015 by Preeti chandra

Excellent recipe. It tastes really good!

Aug 12, 2015 by Ravi

Hi,
I made this dish & stored some excess gravy in the refrigerator.
However the next day the sauce tasted spoilt, the gravy appeared curdled,
I used Amul cream.
What is happening & how can I avoid this?
I want to use the gravy over a few days at least.
Cheers
Ravi

Response: Hi Ravi, thanks for trying the recipe. After adding tomato puree in step-6, cook until oil starts to separate. If you don't cook it properly, the gravy may be curdled.
If you want to store the gravy, don’t add fresh cream. Add the fresh cream when you re heat the gravy.

Aug 06, 2015 by Suganya

Nice recipe. Thanks for posting. Shall we add sugar for mild sweetness in this dish?

Response: Hi Suganya, this curry gets mild sweetness from milk and fresh cream. However, if you want to add sugar for extra sweetness, you can add 1/2 teaspoon sugar.

May 29, 2015 by Sreelakshmi

Truly speaking, it’s such a tasty dish. Just because of the smell my studious sister stopped her studies. Thank you.

What is meant by kasuri methi?

Response: Kasuri methi is the Hindi name for dried fenugreek leaves (methi leaves). It is a dried herb, which has specific aroma and it is added in most of the punjabi curry/sabjis to enhance the flavor.

Can you please tell what the bay leaf is? Can we use any other leaf?

Nov 28, 2014 by Saibal Talukdar

Excellent way to learn the recipe step by step. Can you give the ingredients name in proper Hindi? Can I use boneless chicken ball instead of paneer in paneer butter masala?

Response: Hi, we will definitely translate this recipe in Hindi language very soon. You can use any shallow fried vegetables or cooked chicken instead of paneer in this gravy.

Nov 26, 2014 by Sathish

What is the fresh cream?

Response: Fresh cream is known as Malai in Hindi. After boiling the milk and chilling in the refrigerator, thick layer forms on the milk surface is called malai. If you want to use homemade cream, just beat it with a wire whisk or a spoon for a minute and before adding into the gravy. You can buy it from grocery store (I generally use Amul brand) or make it at home.

if i have no cream then what is its alternative?

Response: Hi Priyanka, cream is added to give a rich creamy flavor to the curry. You can not add any other item as an alternative of cream. If you do not have cream, then skip it (it will taste good but you will not get the restaurant style taste).

If we mix salt with milk to milk phat jaata he so what we should do?

Response: Hi geetansh, milk is added in this recipe to reduce the tanginess of the tomatoes. The reasons behind milk was curdled while made you curry are given below.
1. Did you cook the tomato puree until oil starts to separated in step-6? If tomato puree is not cooked properly then it may happens.
2. Do not use low fat milk, use only full fat milk and after adding milk stir it properly to avoid curdling.
3. Do not add milk over high flame.
You can also skip the milk, use same amount of water instead of milk in step-8.

Plz tell that if i don\'t want to use onion and garlic than what should i do?

is it necessary to use cashew paste?

Response: Hi Nisha, cashew-nut paste is used in this recipe to thicken the gravy. If cashew-nuts are not available then you can use khus khus and watermelon seeds instead of it to make a paste. Follow the below step.
1. Soak khus khus (poppy seeds) (1/2 tablespoon) and watermelon seeds (magaj-tari seeds) (1/2 tablespoon) together in 2-tablespoons hot water for 15-20 minutes.
2. Make smooth paste using mixer grinder and use prepared paste in place of cashewnut paste in this recipe.

Mar 29, 2014 by hussain

Its delicious but what alternate for the butter or we can skip that?

Response: You can use ghee (Indian style clarified butter) or vegan butter instead of plain butter in this recipe. If you want to skip the butter because of any health, allergy or weight related issues then you have to increase the amount of oil to 3 tablespoons in the given recipe, as a result you will get PANEER MASALA CURRY (without BUTTER) which will also taste good.

Can I use sour cream instead of fresh cream..??

Response: Hi Sonia, you can not use sour cream ins place of fresh cream in this recipe. You can use either homemade fresh cream (malai) or store bought Amul fresh cream (or any other brand).

Mar 20, 2014 by priya

2day i am going to try this.. here the fresh crem is not available today.. instead of fresh cream shall i use the fresh curd..

Response: Hi Priya, you can not use fresh curd instead of fresh cream in this recipe. If you do not have fresh cream then you can skip it but it will change the taste a little bit.

Mar 12, 2014 by NILANJANA BASAK

I tried it ,it was awesome but instead of kasuri methi what to use?

Response: Hi Nilanjana, thanks for trying the recipe. Kasuri methi has it's own specific aroma, which is generally added in most of the punjabi style curries to enhance the flavor. If it is not available then you can skip it.

Mar 09, 2014 by Anjan Nandi

Very nice and easy steps make my diner beautiful tonight.. In addition of two teaspoon of Khowa (dry milk) with cashew nut pest make the gravy more beautiful.. Its really delicious.. Thanks

Really nice..I used Ginger garlic paste though..thanks

Feb 21, 2014 by Srikanth

Great - I tried it today and came out well. I couldn't get the Deep Red color though. Also even though the cashews were soaked for 25 minutes, I couldn't get a soft paste after grinding them.

Response: Hi Srikanth, thanks for trying the recipe. The deep red color depends on the quality of red chilli powder (use kashmiri red chilli powder (not very old) to get less spicy taste and deep red color).
In this recipe, smooth paste of cashew nut is not required however you can easily make smooth paste at home by following steps.
1.Grind dry cashew nuts to smooth powder.
2.Soak that powder for 15 minutes in hot water.

Oct 25, 2013 by sheetal

how do u get the deep red color in your gravy...even though i used color chilli powder my gravy is slightly brownish.

Response: I used kashmiri red chilli powder in this recipe to get deep red colour. It gives nice red colour and tastes less spicy. Make sure that red chilli powder is not older than 6-months, otherwise you may not get red deep color.
