WHAT IS BUTTER PANEER?
Let’s learn How To Make Homemade Butter Paneer (Step-by-Step), a delicious recipe featuring paneer (Indian cottage cheese) in a rich, creamy tomato-based gravy with a touch of honey and heavy whipping cream. This Paneer recipe mildly spiced, vegetarian, originated in India. This Indian recipe is extremely flavorful. My husband introduced me to this recipe. When I moved to Switzerland after our wedding, he made Butter Paneer for me within the first two weeks of our marriage. It was the first paneer dish he ever cooked for me—just like Chicken Jalfrezi was the first dish I made for him. Butter Paneer is creamy, rich, and flavorful. It’s one of my favorite Indian dinner recipes just like Paneer Tikka and Achari Paneer.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED!!!
Paneer– I used paneer from Costco. Be sure to soften it by soaking in salted warm water, then pat dry and pan-fry. Homemade Butter Masala– It’s few whole spices and powdered spices. Butter– I opted for salted sweet butter. Tomato Paste– This adds a burst of tomato flavor. Heavy Whipping Cream– You’ll need just 2 cups of heavy whipping cream.
