Paneeru butter masala is one of the popular dish in indian cuisine..For vegetarians it is very a very comforting which is like a chicken or meat dish..Because of butter this is very rich in taste and of course high in calories.But,the creamy texture gravy and soft paneer cubes attracts you all very much to have it and definitely you can`t stop eating it...Choosing Juicy tomatoes,sauteing onions well is very important in this and don`t compromise on butter quantity..If you are not minded about weight reducing,then pan fry the paneer cubes with little bit spices in oil before going to add them in gravy..Naan,pulkas,rumali rotis or parathas are the best combination for this and also this works outs well in weekend parties..Grinding onion tomato mixture into puree is also important step which may takes some time,but it`s absolutely gives a nice look,like full cream milk in this.you can add some cashews or almonds while grinding onion tomato mixture fro rich taste..So,friends I wish  you all like this version.Try it and let me know..
