Paneer Butter Masala
Cultural Context
Paneer Butter Masala is a popular North Indian dish known for its rich and creamy texture. It is often served in restaurants and is a favorite among vegetarians. The dish showcases the use of paneer, a fresh cheese common in Indian cuisine, and is typically enjoyed with naan or rice. Its origins can be traced back to the Mughlai cuisine, which has influenced many Indian dishes, making it a staple in Indian households and celebrations.

Prepare paneer by frying it in hot vegetable oil until golden brown, ensuring the oil is hot but not smoking.
Have a bowl of cold water ready to strain the fried paneer to keep it soft.
Mix together 1 cup of yogurt, 2 tablespoons of garlic paste, and 2 tablespoons of ginger paste in a bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of Himalayan salt, 1/2 teaspoon of white sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon of Indian black salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pink salt to the yogurt mixture.
Incorporate 2 tablespoons of Kashmiri chili powder, 1 tablespoon of hot red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 2 tablespoons of coriander powder, 1 tablespoon of ginger powder, and 1 teaspoon of garam masala into the mixture.
Squeeze fresh lime juice into the marinade and mix thoroughly.
Heat a cast iron skillet until it is very hot and smoky, then add the marinated paneer in a single layer to achieve charring.
Cook the paneer until it is browned and charred on both sides, then remove it from the skillet.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and a little bit of tomato paste, cooking them together.
Return the charred paneer to the skillet and add 500g of cream along with a little bit of water, stirring to combine.
Lower the heat slightly and allow the mixture to simmer, checking the seasoning balance before adding any additional cream or spices.
