Paneer Makhani

Paneer Makhani is a rich and creamy North Indian dish featuring soft paneer cubes simmered in a luscious tomato-based gravy. The gravy is made with ripe tomatoes, butter (makhan), and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala, along with a touch of cream for added richness. The paneer absorbs the flavors of the sauce, resulting in a dish that's smooth, mildly spiced, and indulgent. Paneer Makhani is often garnished with fresh cream or butter and is best enjoyed with naan, roti, or steamed rice. Its success lies in its velvety texture and the perfect balance of tangy, buttery, and creamy flavors, making it a favorite at both home and restaurants.
