Paneer Butter Masala 

Ingredients

Paneer - cut into small pieces

Onion - 1 medium, chopped

Tomato Paste - 1 Tbsp

Tomato Sauce - 1 Tbsp ( I used Maggi Hot & Sweet)

Cream - 2-3 Tbsp 

Milk - 3/4 Cup

Kastoori Methi - 1 Tbsp

Garam Masala - 1 Tsp

Red Chilli Powder - 1 Tsp

Coriander Powder - 1 Tbsp

Ginger/Garlic Paste - 1 Tbsp

Salt - to taste

Oil - 1 Tbsp

Heat oil in a pan and add onion to it, fry until onion is cooked.

Add ginger garlic paste, cook for a minute and add red chilli powder, coriander powder and half garam masala. 

Add tomato paste & tomato sauce and cook for a minute. To this add kastoori methi. Now add milk, reduce the heat to simmer, cover the pan and let it cook  for 5-7 minutes. 

Add paneer cubes and cream to this. Cook for 10 minutes. Now add salt, remaining garam masala and mix well. Serve hot! 

Note: You can replace it with yogurt if you want to reduce the calories. It tastes pretty good with yogurt, there is a minor difference in the texture. Make sure the yogurt is not very watery.
