Paneer Makhani or butter paneer is easy paneer recipe perfect for party, festival lunch, dinner, pot luck or even for lunch box. I always make one paneer dish for guest and it's mostly paneer butter masala or this paneer makhani. Paneer Makhani is popular North Indian curry, creamy and delicious with soft paneer it's a treat to eat. Paneer Makhani goes well with naan, kulcha, paratha, jeera rice, peas pulao, kashmiri pulao or any other rice variety.

Paneer butter masala and paneer makhani is almost similar the gravy is same but butter used in paneer butter masala is more compare to paneer makhani and it's also on spicier side than the paneer makhani other than that both has creamy and rich gravy.  But this paneer makhani is little different from usual paneer makhani.

Normally onion and garlic are used in paneer makhani but in this version I made this curry in no onion no garlic version which is easy and good for people avoiding onion, garlic and also suitable for festival, fasting occasion.  Do not think no onion no garlic makes this paneer makhani any less, this curry taste delicious rich and creamy just perfect.
