Butter Paneer
Butter Paneer, also known as Paneer Makhani, is a popular Indian dish that originates from North Indian cuisine. It is a rich and flavorful dish made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked in a creamy tomato-based curry. The curry is known for its smooth and velvety texture, achieved by blending tomatoes, cream, and various spices.
The dish typically involves marinating paneer cubes in a mixture of yogurt and spices before being cooked in a buttery tomato sauce. The sauce is flavored with spices such as garam masala, cumin, and coriander, creating a harmonious blend of aromatic flavors. Additionally, fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) are often added to enhance the taste.
Butter Paneer is a favorite in many Indian restaurants and households, and it is often served with Indian bread like naan or roti, as well as with rice. The richness of the dish, combined with the succulent texture of paneer, makes it a delightful and indulgent choice for those who enjoy North Indian cuisine.
