About Our Paneer Butter Masala

Paneer Butter Masala (Paneer Makhani) is one of India's most beloved vegetarian dishes and a signature specialty at The Punjab Parantha Hut. Our authentic recipe begins with fresh cottage cheese (paneer) marinated in yogurt and spices, then cooked in our traditional tandoor oven to lock in flavor and juiciness. The paneer is then simmered in a rich, creamy tomato sauce made with butter, cream, and a carefully balanced blend of spices including garam masala, fenugreek leaves, and a touch of honey for sweetness.

What makes our Paneer Butter Masala special is the perfect balance of flavors – creamy without being heavy, flavorful without overwhelming spice, and with that distinctive smoky tandoor flavor that elevates the dish. We serve our Paneer Butter Masala with your choice of basmati rice or freshly baked naan bread, making it the perfect vegetarian comfort food for any occasion.

"The Punjab Parantha Hut's Paneer Butter Masala is exceptional. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and the paneer is always tender and perfectly cooked. As someone who has tried Butter Chicken all over Alberta, I can confidently say this is among the very best."
