This recipe of butter paneer masala or any recipe of paneer, asks for perfect paneer that is soft and spongy still firm. Further we need some tomato puree, heavy cream or malai, and yogurt. Apart from these some basic spices are required. For perfect texture of paneer masala, it is very important to use tomato puree instead of just grinding them in the blender. do not use tangy tomatoes. Make sure to use the sweeter ones. I have used Kashmiri red chili powder. If you plan to use regular red chili powder, adjust the quantity as per your taste (or keep it 1 tsp).

1. Cook the spices : Heat a pan. Add half tablespoon oil thereafter add 2 tablespoons butter. Add 2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder, 1 teaspoon fenugreek leaves powder and half teaspoon turmeric powder. Cook the spices for some 30 seconds

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
