Prepare Paneer:

• Heat a non-stick pan and lightly fry the paneer cubes in a teaspoon of oil until golden on all sides. Set aside.

Make the Base Masala:

• Add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
• Add garlic and ginger paste and sauté until the raw aroma disappears.

Tomato-Cashew Gravy:

• Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil separates.
• Add the cashew paste and mix well, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Add the DIY Butter Paneer Masala:

• Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of Avitri Spices DIY Butter Paneer Masala mix.
• Stir well to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the spice flavors.

Simmer the Gravy:

• Add milk and a splash of water to adjust the consistency of the gravy.
• Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes on low heat.

Finish with Paneer and Cream:

• Gently add the fried paneer cubes to the simmering gravy.
• Stir in cream for a richer taste (optional).

Final Touch:

• Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and a drizzle of cream or butter.

Serve:

• Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed basmati rice.
