Paneer Butter Masala Recipe

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 pound paneer, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon ground cashews
  • 1 teaspoon ground red chiles
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry paneer in 2 batches until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer fried paneer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, retaining vegetable oil in skillet.
  2. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add ginger paste and garlic paste. Continue to cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir cashews, ground red chiles, cumin, coriander, and garam masala into onion mixture. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
  3. Stir tomato sauce, half-and-half, milk, sugar, and salt into spice mixture; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add fried paneer and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes more.
