different. This versatile Indian cheese is used in an array of vegetarian recipes especially
in North India. In this recipe chunks of fresh cottage cheese are cooked in a rich creamy onion
tomato masala and a good dose of butter, only to be finished off with another dollop of fresh
cream. So its fully loaded! This paneer butter masala recipe is a fool proof one and tastes great
with any kind of roti or plain old jeera rice. If you like Indian vegetarian food this one will
tick all the boxes for you.
