Step-by-Step Method

1
Make the Gravy Base Start

Simmer tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, and cashews with 0.5 cup water for 12 mins until soft. Cool, then blend to a very smooth puree.

2
Cook the Puree

Melt butter in a pan. Pour the strained puree through a sieve into the butter. Cook on medium heat for 5-6 mins until it thickens and butter floats.

3
Add Masalas

Add red chilli powder, turmeric, and coriander powder. Stir well and cook for 2 mins.

4
Add Cream and Paneer

Add cream and sugar. Stir gently. Add paneer cubes and mix to coat.

5
Simmer

Cook on low heat for 5-6 mins until gravy coats the paneer.

6
Finish with Garam Masala

Add DC Garam Masala and stir. Cook for just 1 minute — do not overcook or the top-notes evaporate.

7
Serve ✓ Final

Garnish with fresh coriander and a swirl of cream. Serve with naan or jeera rice.

DC Chef's Tips for Paneer Butter Masala
  • Straining the blended gravy through a sieve gives the restaurant-smooth texture.
  • Add Garam Masala only at the very end — it is a finishing spice.
  • Cashews in the gravy base add richness and help it thicken naturally.
  • A pinch of sugar balances the tomato acidity perfectly.
