Steps to Make Palak Paneer Recipe…
Either it is paneer butter masala or chicken butter masala, it is everyone’s favorite. Whenever I try to make any paneer sabzi, my husband asks me to make something different every time. And during this lockdown, it’s very difficult, every time they want something new from the kitchen as we can’t order anything from outside. Also sometimes, few of the items are not available in the market as well.
So this time, I thought of making Paneer Butter Masala as it takes less time as well and it tastes so good.
So here is my lockdown recipe on how to make paneer butter masala.
Note: If you have kept paneer in the fridge and it becomes quite hard then you can put it in hot water or just microwave it for 20-30 sec. It will become super soft, just will melt in your mouth. Also if you want super soft paneer pieces in your dish, just keep it in hot water for a few mins.
