Out of this world Paneer Makhani




My love for paneer has inspired me to make many recipes of paneer at home.This is my all time favourite which I had to share with you all. The preparation is really simple and is yum to eat with naan / kulcha or Roti (Indian Bread).





Ingredients
  1. 500 gms of Paneer cut into small cubes 
  2. 2 medim size Onions thinly sliced
  3. 1/3 cup Tomato Puree
  4. 5 tablespoons of whipped Cream
  5. 1 cup Milk - Half and Half ( thickened non sweet milk)
  6. 3 tablespoons of subnflower oil
  7. 1/2 stick of salted butter

Dry Indian masala
  1. 2 teaspoons Garam Masala
  2. 2 teaspoons Paneer tikka masala
  3. 2 teaspoons Salt 
  4. 1 teaspoons kashmiri red chilly powder



Cut Paneer in bite sizes, chop the onions, green pepper and tomoatoes and put it aside. In a non stick pan pour the butter and let it just melt down. Add the sunflower oil and saute the onions till light brown. Add finely chopped tomato cubes and green pepper. Add the paneer cubes and saute all of them for 5minutes.Add 2 tablespoons of tomato puree and  dry masala in the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes.
(Note : you can also first shallow fry the Paneer till a golden brown crust forms and then use in the above)



Pour the milk and 2 tablespoons of cream. Check the consistency and add water if needed to get the desired consistency. (Note : After cooking it will get a little thick) When done, take it out in a serving bowl and grate paneer on top and garnish with coriander leaves. It is indeed a veggie delight!
