Creamy & Flavourful: Mutter Paneer with Indian Pantry’s Makhani Sauce
Serving
Cooking Time
Difficulty
- 450 gmIndian Pantry Makhani Sauce
- 250 gPaneer
- 1 cupGreen peas
- 1 tbspOil or butter
- 1/2 tbspSalt
- 1/4 cupWater
- 1/2 tbspFresh cilantro
- 1Sauté the Paneer and Peas
Heat 1 tbsp oil or butter in a pan on medium heat. Add the paneer cubes and lightly sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft and golden at the edges. Add the green peas and cook for another minute.
- 2Add the Makhani Sauce
Open your bottle of Indian Pantry’s Makhani Sauce and pour it into the pan. Gently stir to coat the paneer and peas evenly in the rich, tomato-based sauce. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it slightly.
- 3Simmer Slowly
Cover the pan and let it simmer on low heat for 8–10 minutes. Stir once or twice to keep it smooth and glossy. The paneer will soak up the buttery flavors, and the peas will turn tender and sweet.
- 4Taste and Finish
Open the lid and check the seasoning. Add a little salt if needed. Once everything looks rich and well combined, turn off the heat. Top with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.
- 5Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice. It’s rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right spice.
Extra Tips
- For a nutty touch, sprinkle some crushed cashews or almonds on top.
- Replace paneer with tofu for a vegan version.
- Add a handful of baby spinach for extra color and nutrients.
- Leftovers taste even better — reheat gently with a spoonful of water to refresh the sauce.
