Details and Ingredients

Paneer Butter Masala, Kerala-style, is a luxurious South Indian vegetarian dish that combines soft paneer cubes with a rich, creamy curry. The base is made from fresh tomatoes, butter, and cream, blended with cashews for a velvety texture. Aromatic Kerala spices like cardamom, cloves, and a hint of black pepper are added, along with a tempering of curry leaves and dried red chilies for a coastal twist. The paneer is gently simmered in this luscious sauce, absorbing the flavors beautifully.

Served hot, Paneer Butter Masala is a comforting and indulgent meal, perfect with rice, naan, or porotta. It’s a delightful representation of Kerala’s take on this North Indian classic, ideal for lunch or dinner.
