Paneer Makhani (Paneer Butter Masala)

Paneer Makhani (Paneer Butter Masala) by DK on Apr 5, 2010

Paneer Butter Masala, Paneer Makhani, Shahi Paneer recipe

From my research and taste testing around in many restaurants, I feel that "Paneer Makhani", "Paneer Butter Masala" and "Shahi Paneer" taste more or less the same. The difference is in the prominence of spices added by different chefs. Call it whatever you please at the end of the day it is still a very rich creamy Indian side dish made with succulent paneer.

"Paneer Butter Masala" is pretty self explanatory - Masala denotes spices, cooked with butter and Paneer (Indian cheese). "Paneer Makhani" - where Makhani means cream and in cooking, generally denotes any rich gravy made with onions(optionally), tomatoes, butter and cream. And "Shahi Paneer" - where Shahi denotes Royalty, something fit for kings! And can there be anything less than cream, butter and rich nuts which can be served for a king? At the end of the day all these sound the same to me, with 'if-you-blink-you- might-miss" differences.

Though variations abound where spices are thrown in as per fancy and preference of the cook, but with such ingredients can it be any less delicious? After a lot of trials, this is the recipe I follow to make this dish. Along the way, I have learnt few trips and tricks which might help you too, the way it did for me.

Cook time: Under 30 min
Prep time: Under 15 min
Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

2 generous cups Paneer cubes
1 large Onion,chopped coarsely
3 tbsp Butter
1/2 - 3/4 cups Tomato Puree - see Tips
2-3 Green Chillies, as per taste - see Tips
3-4 cloves Garlic
2 inch Ginger, peeled and chopped
1 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Cumin-Coriander powder
1 tsp Tandoori Masala
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
1 tsp Sugar
1/4 cup Cashew paste see Tips.
8-9 raisins - see Tips
1/4-1/2 cup heavy cream (as needed for consistency)
salt to taste
Mint and cilantro to garnish - see Tips

Tips

1. Tomato Puree: Homemade Puree is recommended. But if using store bought, opt for low sodium variety. If that's not available then use only about 1/2 cup of the puree and carefully add salt only if required. Otherwise it results in a tangy taste thus spoiling the dish.

2. Green Chilli: You can instead use cayenne/red chilli powder. Sometimes when I don't have green chillies on hand I use dried red chillies like in this dish. Doesn't hurt the taste.

3. Cashew Paste and Raisins: Use them if making Shahi Paneer. Soak few cashew pieces in boiling water and grind into paste. You can saute the raisins in ghee and then add it to the gravy. Or just grind them along with the nuts. They provide subtle sweetness enhancing flavor. You can skip adding the sugar in that case or add only if necessary.

4. Mint:I personally find that Mint goes very well with rich dishes providing a fresh mouthfeel and also reducing the rich after taste. A combination of the herbs is my personal favorite where it helps to mellow down the richness.

Method

1. Here is another tip which you might find useful. When buying store bought Paneer, I mostly place them in a bowl filled with boiling water for 10-15 minutes.

2. It helps to make it soft and also get rid of any impurities, if any. Drain it the water from the paneer and set aside.

3. In a skillet in 1/2 tsp oil, add the onion, chillies, garlic and ginger with a little salt. Saute until soft.

4. Transfer this mixture to the blender and blend it into a paste.

5. In the same skillet, add 3 tbsp of butter and then add the onion paste. Cook until butter/oil separates. If using cashew Paste add it along with this mixture now. or you can soak the cashew pieces in hot water and grind it along with the onion mixture.

6. Add the tomato puree and all the spices. Stir well and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the raw smell of the puree disappears. Add sugar and cook for another 5 minutes. You can at this point taste and see if you require additional salt. If yes, add more.

7. Drop in the paneer gently and give it a toss. Cook for another 2-3 minutes for the paneer to absorb the flavors.

8. Lower the heat to a simmer. Then add the heavy cream. Mix well.

9. If you want to use raisins, fry them lightly in ghee/butter separately and add it to this gravy. You can set some aside for garnish. I don't like sweet things in savory dishes and hence don't use them. Be careful to cook this in simmer before adding cream. Otherwise the heat will give it a curdle appearance!

You can garnish it with mint and cilantro if desired.

Thanks. I tried this recipe 3-4 times. it came out mouth watering each time.

By Nandini on Jul 11, 2012

Hey I tried this recipe twice once without cashew and one with cashew paste both were amazing and very easy to cook....my husband who is not fond of much paneer loved it and one of family friends who loves paneer went ga ga over it and enjoyed the dish....though i liked both but i prefere the one without cashew paste as I found it tasted better.

I tried this recipe and it turned out really good! I didn't have Cardamom so I substituted it with Cinnamon and it was just like the Makhani Paneer you get in hotels! Thank you so much for your recipe! :-D

By Good Old Paneer Makhni on Mar 6, 2015

[…] Cottage cheese or paneer, as better known in India, is not well accepted in my household. We are too carnivorous to give paneer its due respect! I was also not too keen to cook up a paneer dish until recently when my father-in-law freaked out on a casually made paneer preparation. So today I consciously made the traditional ‘paneer makhni’ to impress him once again! This particular recipe is adapted from Chef in You. […]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I just got back from my first trip to India this past Saturday and the paneer dishes were my favorites. I liked them so much I decided to give them a try at home and this is the first one I'm trying. BTW - it goes GREAT with the Atkins style diet (I'm just substituting the sugar)! I'm also trying my hand at homemade paneer - mainly because I live in an area where they would have no idea what I was talking about if I asked them if they had it in stock. Yes, I had to also purchase the seasonings online because they certainly don't sell masala in my stores.

By Mandy on Feb 26, 2013

hi, thanks a tonne for the recipe. I made it with slight changes.. Added 1 bay leaf, 4-5 cloves, 4-5 black pepper corns and one black cardamom instead of readymade masala. Even though I didn't add any cream whatsoever, it tasted really yummy. Best compliment came from husband that it tasted better than any place he had ever had the same dish including any 5 star hotels... :)

Hi dhivya, I cudnt join thru my android phone, to become a member of chef in you, hence couldn't click on the I made this recipe thing. I made it and it tastes heavenly as this is the first time I was using cashew paste in any of my dishes though I have heard it's awesome. Thank you for the step by step pics, and paneer soaking tip. I modified a little bit by adding kasuri methi and using pizza sauce (ran out of tomatoes), and dry red chilli, and omitting tandoori powder (didn't have it handy) and using whole milk instead of cream.....I am now gonna use this base for not just paneer, thanks to you !

By Abhishek on Dec 15, 2012

Great and yummy dish.... cooked with the instructions and almost was of the same taste as in restaurants. Thanks for the recipe.

By rmn on Dec 13, 2012

hi! can you please tell how to make the purée at home?

By Jennifer on Nov 28, 2012

This looks delicious! Do you have a recipe for tandoori masala? If not do you think these ingredients might approximate the flavor--maybe equal parts cumin, coriander, sweet paprika, with smaller amounts of garlic, ginger, cardamom and saffron? Thanks for the great recipes!

I dont have a recipe posted in the site currently. Typically a tandoori masala has a vast assortment of spices blend together. You can see the spices here : Tandoori Masala. Store bought works pretty well for recipes. The thing with Indian food is it works quite well with any spice in most of the cases. You can use the spices you mentioned and it will impart a different taste which I am sure will be good enough (provided you use the spices in harmony). But yes, it might certainly taste different from this recipe :) --DK

By Radhika on Nov 12, 2012

This is the best recipe ever! I made it over the weekend for our Diwali get together and it was a huge hit. I made it with the store bought tomato puree and cashews (just a few (7-8) does the trick) but it was the bomb! I knew I could cook but didn't know I could cook so well :wink: Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe, definitely recommended. I brought leftovers to work today and a person passing by whispered "that smells really good!" On a side note for other readers: My father-in-law does not eat onions and I made the same recipe w/o onions, could not tell any difference in the flavor.

Thank you so much.. Nothing gets the cook in me going than a thoughtful feedback :) --DK

By Sumathy on Oct 17, 2012

By Nicole on Feb 18, 2012

Oh man, this was so good! I've tried to make shahi paneer before and it just tasted flat. I think the cashews are key, so thanks for that.

My husband and I made this for dinner and WOW, it knocked our socks off! To help with the calories, we used non-fat greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. The sauce came out a little thick, so we added the only thing we had on hand, which was non-fat Keifer. While this might sound crazy, the recipe was rich, thick and delicious! Next time, we're going to try greek yogurt with a dash of non-fat milk instead. Using cubes of firm tofu instead of cheese would also help with calories. Also, I highly recommend adding the cashew butter, it was amazing!

Hi: I see this is an old post and many others have already tried his recipe. I am seeing it for the first time. I must say I appreciate your Paneer Makhani recipe but I don’t understand the language. However when I look at the recipe ingredients and explanation, it is veggies with cheese. This is really home made and that is what we usually do.We have a similar one here on our list but we have parsley instead of cardamom powder. You see Oriental and Western recipes have so many things in common.
