The Easiest Authentic BUTTER PANEER - How to Make a Silky, Smooth Sauce that Enhances Flavour

Butter Chicken (murgh makhani) and consequently Butter Paneer are some of the most iconic dishes of North Indian. Sopposively invented in 1947 by Kundan Lal Gujral who opened the Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi, a restaurant I visited a couple of years back which seems to have lost its former glory. Nethetherless, this is a fantastic dish with a special technique I decided to make it even more super tasty.
To change the recipe to butter chicken, simply add chunks of raw chicken breast 5 minutes into cooking the onions.

A classic that stood the test of time. Shahi Paneer is also another classic worth trying.

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Definitely 👍

[@RanjitSingh-ie6ju]

Beautiful recipe. I must give it a go. Thanks.

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Probably a bit more butter needed- more calories but better looking 😉

[@neilsmith7547]

Looks rich and indulgent. Very nice recipe Steve 👌

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Thanks so much

[@tonyburton419]

Thank you 😋

[@dgmization]

Great dish ,keep up the good work. Thanks

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Thank you too

[@NickeyVamp]

Looks so devine. I hope your channel gets so large. I do like the white one for contrast but the clay is more traditional. I would say the white showcases color and the clay gives a rustic feel. It depends on what image you want to send. I have been watching you for two years.. I love your vids so much. Delicious, simple and nutritious. I could see you having a network channel you are amazing Steven.

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

I totally agree with the message of each of the bowl colours 👌 I hope so. Appreciate you compliment

[@lindsayforbes7370]

I used this recipe with some premade chicken tikka. Fabulous. The new tip was blitzing the sauce

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Yes, blitzing really increased flavour (more surface area

[@becsterino]

That looks delicious! And simple to make! Thanks for sharing!
Also, white bowl because it helps the colors pop. 😊

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Thank you!

[@GavM]

Very nice. Would love that with chicken tikka

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Next time 👍

[@ivantate]

Looks delicious 😋 will give this a try.

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

[@JeffM---]

I like the clay bowl.

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Thanks Jeff 👍

[@markyj6883]

Looks delicious

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Thank you

[@bigw1552]

Clay of course thanks

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Thanks 👍

[@kevowski]

I keep meaning to try paneer in a curry but never seem to get past lamb or chicken.(beef is on my “must try” list too)
Your blended sauce looks delicious and a perfect match for the paneer.
Hope the competition tomorrow goes well👍🏻

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Thanks so much. I'll try

[@chippywarren9706]

Hello! Clay bowl I think, perhaps on top of some decorative plate with a slice of naan? Plus a nice glass of red wine! 👍

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Great idea! Thanks

[@TruffleShuffle49]

Awesome video Steve 👍👍.
Fair play mate , you come across well , dish looks great and excellent instructions. As for the bowls ....the chef in me says the white , but I do love a clay bowl 🥣 😂😂
And probably with a big spoon 👍👍

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Thanks 👍

[@pinkfloyd7572]

Looks fantastic. Do you deliver across the Atlantic? 😃

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

I wish 🤞

[@almondnine]

always tough to get that authentic butter paneer sauce. To strain or not to strain ?? what is your suggestion Steven to a lazy bones such as myself

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

You could also stick blend it in a Conical Sieve 👍

[@logant6490]

White bowl for me

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Agreed 👍

[@Curryenthusiast01]

White bowl

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Yes I think so too
