In today’s blog, I will share the recipe for Paneer Butter Masala. Firstly, I am a big fan of Paneer and its recipes. Coming from North Karnataka my mom never really prepared paneer dishes at home. I first tasted Paneer when I was in school at one of my friend’s birthday parties. Since then my love for paneer has always gone up. When I learnt cooking I tried my hands on many paneer dishes. Palak Paneer and Paneer Butter Masala are my two favorites. My whole family loves it and insists I cook at least once a month. So, I thought of sharing the delicious recipe for Paneer Butter Masala.
