Paneer Butter Masala is a vegetarian dish that features paneer, which is a type of Indian cottage cheese, cooked in a rich and creamy tomato-based sauce. The dish is known for its luscious texture, mild spiciness, and delightful flavors.
To prepare Ilika Butter Paneer Masala, you would typically need ingredients such as paneer, butter, tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, cashew paste or cream, and a spice blend. The paneer is usually cut into cubes and lightly pan-fried or grilled before being added to the sauce.
The sauce is made by sautéing onions, garlic, and ginger in butter, then adding tomatoes and spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. The mixture is simmered until the tomatoes are cooked down and soft. Cashew paste or cream is added to create a creamy and rich texture, and the paneer cubes are added to the sauce and gently simmered until they absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Ilika Butter Paneer Masala is typically served with rice, naan, or roti, and is a popular choice among vegetarians and paneer lovers. It is known for its indulgent taste and is often enjoyed at special occasions or as a comforting meal at home.
