Paneer butter masala
This is another veg recipe which I just love. It’s easy to prepare and in the end you get a delicious curry with thick gravy. I used ready made panner as I felt it much easy. Since we use fresh cream the gravy thickens with time. So you can adjust the amount of water while cooking if you are serving the curry after some time.
