Paneer Masala – How to Make Restaurant Style Paneer (Punjabi Recipe)
Another Paneer dish, yes! Paneer is something that is used on a very regular basis at home in some form or the other, I love the way it blends with any other ingredient and makes the entire dish so rich. I generally make paneer burji at home, one – because it is too easy and quick to make and two – I can wrap it to the chapatis and give it to my kids without any fuss, it’s to handy to eat for them. I also make Paneer Butter Masala that is loved at home a lot.
Though I always love to eat Palak Paneer but my kids hate spinach and it takes me a hell lot of time to actually convince them to eat spinach. I made this semi dry paneer masala dish last weekend. It is so easy and at the same time delicious. Best fit for people who have busy lifestyle and for working professionals. All you need is very few ingredients and very less time in your kitchen. Bachelors or working professionals can cook this dish over the weekend and refrigerate it and can consume it within 2 days also, it wont loose its texture and taste. Heat it in the microwave and wrap this in ready-made chapatis or make a bread sandwich using this and your quick meal is ready.
So wear your chef caps at home and enjoy this restaurant style easy to cook Paneer Masala dish.
Ingredients Instructions Notes Paneer Masala can be served with boiled rice, as a paneer wrap and even it can be sandwiched and grilled.
If you want that extra redness in the recipe, you can use kashmiri mirch or else can add in 1/2 teaspoon of tomato ketchup.
Enjoy the restaurant experience at home with your loved ones with this Paneer Masala recipe!

Hi Anamika,

Sure Asmita, my daughter is also crazy about Paneer and I cook majorly keeping my kids in mind:). Glad you liked it!
i love paneer masala so much
Thank you so much.
Dear Anamika,
Before adding the paneer shall i fry the paneer with butter or ghee
its needed or not
Pls send reply.
Hi Poornima, there is no need to fry the paneer. Ensure you buy a soft paneer and not the frozen hard ones. If the quality of the paneer will be good the dish will automatically taste great. So I suggest do not fry, but at the same time if you want it to be extra rich then you can just shallow fry them. Do let me know incase you need any more help
