Paneer Butter Masala is a rich and creamy onion-tomato based gravy with paneer cubes. Making Paneer Butter Masala in the electric pressure cooker is so easy. It hardly takes only 10 mins to prepare this delicious gravy.
It takes only the 3 steps to prepare this recipe using Nutricook electric pressure cooker. The same recipe can be followed in any electric pressure cooker like Mealthy Multipot or Instant pot. First, dump or throw all the ingredients into the pot and pressure cook for 3 mins with Natural Pressure Release. Then grind it in a mixer or hand blender to a smooth paste. Add paneer, Kasuri methi, fresh cream, and simmer it in saute mode for 2-3 mins. That’s it, finger-licking paneer butter masala is ready.
Even a novice can prepare this recipe without any fail. Keeping this as base gravy, you can replace paneer with mushrooms or chicken or baby potatoes, or any other veggies of your choice. Just try it once, and you will be addicted to cooking it regularly. We enjoyed this with whole wheat butter naan. You can see the recipe here: Whole wheat garlic naan and Butter garlic naan.
