Paneer Butter Masala (Cottage Cheese Curry) 印度干酪咖喱

An extremely flavourful dish that is not only easy to make but very satisfying. Our Paneer Butter Masala recipe is shared by our talent home cook Puja Patil. As a mom of 2 young boys, she has to always cook healthy meals but occasionally she will create what she terms as "healthy-junk" options. A true testament as a culinary expert who has perfected the recipe by experimenting with different and more nutritious ingredients instead of the original's.

"My kids love this dish and each time I make a potful it's never enough" explains Puja
