[saurdel2001]

what is the difference between shai paneer gravy and butter masala gravy except the cashews

[jmeijler1]

Hi Manjula, I tried to make this dish but it turned out too sour. Did I do something wrong or did I use the wrong type of yogurt?

[iamwatchingut]

can I use the western cheese in grocery store instead of paneer?

[ninad02]

Aunty, thank u so much for this dish....is this homemade paneer??

[masaladaal]

I love this dish,I love allIndian dishes,but this is a good one!

[contessa2007]

Manjula, why is garam masala added at the end of cooking, unlike the other spices?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@contessa2007



[stevenuuu1212]

[rucha2285]

Hello Aunty, very good receipe... but since its a butte paneer masala, why no butter in receipe???? are we suppose to use at the time of garnishing ??? reply plz....

[patelcommunity]

hi,please upload paneer chilli recipe please....

[soenamg]

yummy......post more recipies mam....

[l3havin]

Aunty jee... I didt get one thing in this recipe.. do we have to add butter at any stage.. I mean after it is made or at the start.. instead of oil.

[FromBoomTown]

So you cook the tomato puree for 2 minutes or about 4.

[aviavinash789]

very nice

[vj0509]

very nice dish.. really get inspired to cook like u.. thanks for all the superb dishes.. i see and follow many of your recipes..

can u kindly post "Shahi panner" also plz? eager to see it........

[amritha1986]

one of the easiest recipes i have tried...... came out well..... thanks for posting....

[atthetableseattle]

OMG!!!

To die for!!!!

De BEST!!!

[aarthipavan]

auntyji but wher is the butter in it. I made it for my inlaws who are into ISKON coz they cant eat onions n garlic n they simply luvd it.

[casmacasma]

Looks good. But the receipe seems to be like Cethinad Style something like 'Paal Kari Khozhambu'.

[pisceanza]

instead of frying the paneer in oil, try this:-

1. marinate raw paneer in a mixture of yogurt, green chili, garlic, ginger and salt for 3 hours (this is for flavor and softness

2. Now grill the pieces of paneer instead of frying

3. let me know what you think of the flavor

[schupchap]

Hey Manjula Aunty,

Today I cannot eat onions and garlic and this recipe was so great that I could not stop thanking you .

[daisyflower22]

Thankyou for replying! that is good that i dont need the hing, because i have been looking everywhere for it, but sadly i have had no luck!

[daisyflower22]

I cant get hing here, can i just leave it out?

[Manjulaskitchen]

Just leave out the hing.

[deannausernametaken]

What is hing?

[ghaegha]

asafoetida

[sameoldmike]

made this for myself -- it's so good!!

[prathibhaayyappan]

Hi Manjula aunty,

I have eaten this dish many times in hotels but have never seen green pees in this dish. Also can we use milk or cream instead of yogurt?

[shildapark]

hai auntie manjulas!

I have try it great

[dishu7]

where was the butter in that dish heheh butter paneer masala...

[rcmg2009]

hello aunty,

By the way where is butter in this recipe..isnt it required?...

[premajuju]

hi manjulaunty.........thanx for ur recipe.......was really helpfull.....will be serving ur recipe for ommorow dinner for guests....looking forward for more recipes from you...

[bappon]

Dear Madam, I am from Sweden i exactly follow ur procedure, thank u ! let me know about the corn starch , which i am not able to get here :-)

[Manjulaskitchen]

I add corn starch to thickes the gravy, use 1 teaspoon of plain flour.

[Sweetmurry]

corn starch is to thicken the gravy.... but if u add flour directly it will lump. So dissolve in water first... just a little so its not lumpy... then add small amounts and also note as it cools it will thicken more as well. Hope this helps :)

[gagecube]

erm this looks delicious. I thought it was paneer makhani, as many restraunts in the uk serve a similar dish called that. I think that is because the term makhani is used whenever butter is used.

[smith21181]

Hallo Aunty , I Love your all recipes,Though i have some Query

plz tell me which brand of yogurt U used for this recipe ? If u use homemade yogurt , how u prepared it?N another one is where i will get cornstarch. Your all recipes are very easy .Thank you N Take care.

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can use any yogurt and I will be doing home made yogurt soon. corn starch you can buy in any grocery store in baking section

[drkstr3443]

I just finished making and eating this dish... it was delicious. I didn't take out the seeds of the green chili, though so it was damn spicy. Oh well, lesson learned for next time...

[PRAKAS08]

your recipes clearly tells that you belong to North India.UP or Delhi side where hing,jeera and amchoor powder are maostly used in every dish.

[molechendu]

Looks great!, but where is the butter in 'Panner Butter Masala'?

[DefconBravo]

Some fried onions would go down a treat with that recipe.

[nimbarkadasa]

Manjula Ji is Jain - they do not cook with onions and garlic - same with Vaishnavas and Mahayana Buddhists... well thats the theory anyway!

[s3xyjatti]

Hey Manjula auntie tried ur chana masala came out great!!!! I was looking 4 chicken haha

[drakendrones]

hi s3xyjatti...i guess manjulaji cooks only vegetarian dishes. I m a vegetarian n thats how i came across her videos :-) n i luv all her recipes!!

[nandinivnk]

Hello, Your recipes are great. Why is it that none of your recipes include onion? Is it for religious reasons or is onion not called for in these recipes?

[anjurtupil1]

One could include onion,you can fry it and grind it with the tomato to maintain the smooth consistency or if you like a grainier consistency fry them and then add the tomato paste.I'm sure the restaurants surely add onion.

[tennisplayer2696]

i was looking for paneer chili

[Binky84]

thank you Aunty your food is Wonderful!

[bobby222619]

thank u aunty ji.........for ur lovely and delicious recipiee..

[kaddu747]

aunty ji, this recipe seems to be for mattar paneer and not paneer butter masala.

like the user below said, where is the butter ?

[somalin1982]

Aunty is it not Butter Paneer?so where you added the butter?

[videos4rk]

Namaste Aunty..

U r a lifesaver of all the indian youngsters away from home in US...love how u make everything look so easy..u remind me so much of my mother..will u pls add how to make mirchi pakodas/stuffed capsicum..thanks in advance..keep posting..

[bob39rocks]

[paglot]

auntyji namaste..at wat stage do we add the cornstarch??

[Manjulaskitchen]

after it is ready just few minutes before. for detail check my website

[anumitadey]

hi manjula aunty!!!i have been watching all your videos............they are really mouth watering!!but here in this recipe...i can't find the butter to be added to "butter paneer masala".....just wamted to know..whether mistakenly you have skipped it.....or we don't have to add it at all??

thanks.......in advance

[Manjulaskitchen]

dont need to add it.

[GracefullTiger]

Hi Mrs. Manjila, how r u doing?

1) How many cups of milk have u used to do the paneer u made for this recipe?

2) The paneer looks kinda solid in this video,doesn't it? How did u manage to make it this way?

3)can I use Halloumi cheese instead of Paneer?

I think that Halloumi's taste kinda resembles paneer's.

[Manjulaskitchen]

I dont know about Halloumi cheese and in this recipe I used store baught paneer.

[foozieoozie]

Haloumi cheese is very salty but paneer is very light with a fresh milk taste.

[moonoveraddison]

auntie ji thanks looks very easy will try on weekend and let everybody know how easy it is

[musiclover1958]

Namaste! Can't wait to make this tonight for our dinner!

[31071987]

thnx Aunty , will try and add a comment later :)

[veerims]

Hello manjula aunty...All your recipes are just great............

[sharman1402]

namaste manjulaji,

Is it ok if i use TOFU {Soy Paneer} instead of normal Paneer? If yes, then Does it take more time get cooked when deep fry?

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes you use tofu and it takes about the same time to fry.

[SamFem]

I haven't been able to find Paneer at the regular grocery. I guess I'll need to try an international store. Possibly might try w/ Feta cheese (heavy culture milk taste) if i can't find paneer.

[Manjulaskitchen]

Feta cheese will not work I will be showing how to make paneer at home very soon.

[nbotelho10]

Manjulaji, for this recipe do you seed the tomatoes before making the tomato puree?

Also, once you add the yoghurt, do you lower the heat to medium? I continued cooking on medium high heat, and the yoghurt split a little. Also, I wasn't left with much gravy at the end. The end-result was very delicious though!

[Manjulaskitchen]

I dont seed the tomatoes, and I do lower the heat after addinf the yogurt add the salt towards the end that helps so yogurt does not split. I am hoping you have add the corn starch for thickning the gravy.

[SwatiWillson]

Hello...

Thanks for another great recipe. I tried this on weekend and it tasted very good. Keep up the good work. All the best.

[manonmany]

Hello Manjulaji,

Many thanks for posting this delicious recipe. I tried it with naan today and it was great. My family enjoyed it. Once again, thanks a lot for this great recipe.

[kawaiianime1]

why u not use onion in any recipe? north indian use lots of onion in all recipe & they not use hing only Gujaratis use hing in all recipes

[Churumbelita]

People of the Jain faith don't eat garlic or onions, or any other root vegetables.

[lakshmikaa]

Hello Manjulaji,

That's a great recipie. I'm looking for a recipie which doesn't call for garlic nd onion. I love hing nd ginger. Thank U.

Lakshmi Karra

[sidsonu]

thanks Manjula jee , that was a great recipe , the ony thing i notice was i put 2 tps of corn strach and the gravy was really thick.

But thanks a lot i made that dish after i came home from work and before she came home from work and she was surprised by the delicious dish and i can see a little bit jealously on her face hahahhahahha ooohhh my god that was funny. Thanks for teh great recipe.

[haribolshanti]

thank you is the best mantra.

[Chhetrapati]

1. Can we put tomato puree or canned crushed tomato ?

2. No need of Cashew and Chironjee ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

Yes you can use canned crushed tomato

[reggie02062]

Hello Manjula ji,

I love watching your videos. What I like the most is that every dish of yours is true Jain style, 100% vegetarian with no onions or garlic. I am a vegetarian and I love it. Thank you for posting all these wonderful recipes. Looking forward to seeing more recipes from you.

Nirmal

[yamankalyana]

Manjula ji....Great great service..I will try this today and will let you know how it's turned out!....Great service Mam.

[archanaha]

Hello Manjulaji,

The recipe is awesome and it tasted excellent. Thank you.

I found a bit of trouble in cutting the paneer to small pieces as u did because it crumbles at times. How to cut it easily in good shapes?

Also i want to know is it necessary to fry panner?

Regards

[Manjulaskitchen]

No you did not miss anything that's what this recipe called

[shefali24]

I am a great fan of ManjulaKitchecn....I guess this dish was Matar Paneer, If we remove the matar & add cream & butter in the end, this dish will become Paneer Butter Masala.

Manjula ji Correct me if I am wrong

[Manjulaskitchen]

Hello Shefali in a way you are right but if noticed I have put very little of green peas just to give the color. I like green peas so much any chance I get I used them

[vineyardbejoy]

thanks you very much for ur wonderful video, please keep adding and looking fwd to learn more fm u

[morokiya55]

Thanks so much DEAR Manjula. i love every post from You.. It feels like an old friend of you. another great video from you.love it!!!

[wise1967]

Besides being completely vegetarian, you also never use onions or garlic in your recipes.I always thought onions were compulsory in some dishes but thank you for teaching us that it isn't necessarily so.

Btw,I've always wondered why this dish is called Paneer Butter masala when there is no butter in it.:)

[hotfruitdelong]

You make it look so easy! This one is going to be the next dish I make with nann bread!!! I've made a few of your recipes and they are so good! Could you put in chicken to make it butter chicken?

[054384]

Manjula many thanks for your wonderful recipies. It feels like I am cooking with an old friend. I have cooked almost every dish you have posted and they are all wonderful. My husband loves each one and is very happy with my newly aqired cooking skills. You may not know it but you are touching a lot of people through your warm voice and unique style of cooking with love. May you continued to be richly blessed!
