Paneer (cottage cheese) is one of the quintessential foods in an Indian meal. Be it the tantalising paneer tikkas or the rich Indian paneer gravies, there is absolutely no dearth of paneer dishes. The vegetarian menu of a north Indian restaurant or a dhaba is proof to the versatility that paneer is! And back home, if you've got a chunk of cottage cheese in your refrigerator, you know you are sorted for the day.

Indian paneer gravies are one of the most common lunch or dinner options in our homes. The aromatic flavours of a paneer curry are inviting enough to make it a star dish at any dinner table. No wonder we have more than a dozen of paneer gravies available across roadside dhabas and even at fine dine restaurants, including shahi paneer, kadhai paneer or matar paneer. One of the most loved paneer gravies in every restaurant is aromatic paneer butter masala. The luscious, creamy, flavourful and rich cousin of butter chicken has a separate fan base that loves to gorge on the buttery goodness! But did you know that you can make the stellar paneer dish at home too?!
