Panner Butter Masala

Paneer butter masala is a favorite in my family. Its rich and creamy that gives it the name makhani by some. Got to know this easy shortcut from my sis which helps me save a lot of time. Takes around 30 mins so it makes a good addition to last minute menu with unexpected guests. Kids too will love this slightly sweet gravy. Can substitute paneer with tofu if wanted.
