Heart of Hinduism: Samskaras: Rites of Passage

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Hindu rites of passage are not mere formalities or social observances, but serve to purify the soul at critical junctions in life's journey. The word " samskara" means "mental impression," for the ceremonies help create a favourable mentality for stepping positively from one phase of life into the next.

Paneer butter masala recipe with video & step by step photos. This paneer recipe yields a delicious creamy smooth restaurant style gravy. Isn't it fun to recreate restaurant style dishes at home? I found this paneer butter masala recipe years ago in one of the best cookbooks in a library. I tried it and then made this for years and my entire family got hooked to this dish.

I love simple recipes and easy cooking that calls fewer ingredients and fewer steps to follow. This restaurant style paneer butter masala recipe is a winner, roughly adapted from Chef Sanjeev kapoor's cookbook.

Over the years i have simplified it for ease of cooking. It's so simple and easy to make that is creamy and delicious. It is best served with roti, naan, paratha or any rice varieties like Jeera rice, ghee rice, pulao or biryani rice.

This paneer butter masala recipe uses onion, that's how it is different from the paneer makhani which is usually made without onions. You can also make this paneer butter masala without onion and garlic, just skip them and follow the recipe.

The only thing you would miss is the amount of gravy. Yes recipes that don't use onions yield lesser gravy. To get the right color without using food colors, choose red ripe tomatoes and good kashmiri red chili powder.

This paneer butter masala recipe needs blanching or sauteing the onions and tomatoes in oil first and then blending which gives a unique flavor to the dish. This also gives a delicious taste than the one made using raw onion paste or tomato puree.

you can skip using garlic and onion and make a no onion no garlic paneer butter masala recipe
Use sugar only if needed to suit your taste. Onions, cashews and tomatoes lend a sweet flavor and taste to the gravy naturally, so if desired use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp.

Preparation for paneer butter masala

1. If you do not have coriander powder in hand, add 1 ½ tsp. Coriander seeds and ½ tsp. garam masala to a blender jar. Then make a fine powder. Using a strong garam masala doesn't make the dish taste good. We need mild garam masala powder hence adding coriander powder.

2. You can lightly fry paneer in oil or butter and set aside. I prefer not to so I skipped.

Making gravy

3. You can either blanch the onions and tomatoes or will have to saute them. Sometimes onion paste lends a bitter taste. So blanching or sauteing is very much needed. I go ahead sauteing as it gives a nice flavor. Add 1.5 tsp oil to a hot pan. Saute 1 cup cubed onions on a medium flame until they turn lightly pink in color. This takes just 3 to 4 minutes.

4. Transfer 1.5 cups finely chopped tomatoes and salt. Again fry for 2 to 3 minutes, cover and cook till mushy.

5. Add ½ to ¾ tsp red chili powder, ½ to ¾ tsp garam masala, 1 tsp coriander powder, 10 to 12 cashews and half tsp sugar if using.

6. Fry till the mix begins to leave the sides of the pan. You will begin to get a nice aroma of the mix. Off the stove.

7. Cool it and add it to a blender along with 1 cup of water and blend to smooth. To speed up the process, I added ice cold water to the jar first and then transferred the mix.

8. Blend to a very smooth paste, adding little more water if needed. If the mixture is not very smooth and silky, i suggest use a filter to strain the mixture. Pass the puree through a colander or sieve and collect it to a bowl.

9. Heat the pan on a low flame with 1 ½ tbsp. butter. Add 3 cardamoms, 1 bay leaf, 1 small cinnamon stick and 3 cloves. Fry till they are lightly roasted just for a minute.

10. Add ¾ tsp ginger paste or 1.5 tsps ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell goes off. If the raw smell of ginger garlic doesn't go away or it gets burnt the entire dish will spoil. So take care to fry this on a low to medium flame until the raw smell goes off.

11. Next add the pureed onion tomato mix, little more red chili powder and if needed ¼ to half cup of water to bring it to the desired consistency. You can adjust the quantity of red chili powder to get a good color. If you are not using onion in this recipe, then you can also skip using red chili powder now.

12. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on a medium flame to get a nice color. You will also see traces of fats over the gravy at this stage. This is the color you may get. Open the lid and cook until the gravy turns a bit more thick.

13. Make sure the gravy reaches the desired consistency then add 250 grams cubed paneer and kasuri methi.

14. Stir well. Cover and cook just for 3 minutes. Cooking for longer can make the paneer harder. Add 2 to 3 tbsp. cream and stir.

You can add 1 tbsp cream, also finely chopped coriander leaves or ginger julienne for garnish.

Serving suggestions: Serve butter paneer with
naan, roti, butter naan or plain paratha
jeera rice, biryani roce or ghee rice or vegetable pulao with a veg salad.
