Paneer Butter masala is one of the most liked dish in Indian Cuisine
Generally
Paneer butter Masala is loaded with loads of cream and malai.I have
keep it simple and cream free.Just 1 teaspoon of malai or cream will do
the need full.I have given it a different look by cutting the paneer in
heart shape...My kids just loved the dish.And the best part is everyone
wants to eat healthy these days so why to indulge in gravies with heavy
cream.You can even skip the butter that i have used in this gravy.It
wont make much of a difference in the taste
