Paneer Butter Masala with Chef Priya & Chef Nisha: A Flavorful Journey!

Chef Priya: "Okay, Chef Nisha! What’s cooking today?"

Chef Nisha: "Today, we’re making a classic favorite – Paneer Butter Masala! It’s rich, creamy, and oh-so-delicious!"

Chef Priya: "Yum! But I’m not sure how to make the paneer really soft. Any tips?"

Chef Nisha: "Definitely! First, let’s prepare the paneer. You can use store-bought or homemade paneer. To make it extra soft, soak it in hot water for 10-15 minutes before using it."

Ingredients:

• 200g Paneer, cut into cubes
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, pureed
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp red chili powder
• 1/2 cup cream
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Let’s Get Cooking!

Chef Priya: "Alright, I’ve got everything ready. What’s the first step?"

Chef Nisha: "Great! First, heat some oil in a pan, and once it’s hot, add butter. This is the magic ingredient for a rich, velvety taste!"

Chef Priya: "Butter always makes everything better! What’s next?"

Chef Nisha: "Now, add the chopped onions and sauté them until they turn golden brown. This adds a lovely sweetness to the curry!"

Chef Priya: "Okay, they’re turning golden! Now, we add the ginger-garlic paste, right?"

Chef Nisha: "Exactly! Sauté it for about a minute to let the raw smell go away. We want that deep, aromatic flavor to develop."

Chef Priya: "Smells amazing already! What do we do next?"

Chef Nisha: "Now, we add the pureed tomatoes, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Let it cook until the oil separates from the masala. This is the base of our curry!"

Chef Priya: "Yum! And now, we add the paneer?"

Chef Nisha: "Yes! Add the paneer cubes and mix gently so they get coated with the masala. Cook it for a few minutes."

Chef Priya: "I can’t wait to taste this! What’s the final step?"

Chef Nisha: "Now, let’s add the cream for that rich, creamy texture. Stir it in, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves!"

Chef Priya: "Done! It looks perfect. I’m sure it’s going to taste amazing too!"
