About Butter paneer

Butter Paneer, also known as Paneer Makhani, is a popular North Indian dish that combines tender cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) with a rich, creamy tomato-based gravy. The dish is typically prepared with ingredients like tomatoes, butter, cream, spices such as garam masala and turmeric, and sometimes cashews to enhance the texture and flavor. Served with naan, rice, or roti, Butter Paneer is a comforting staple of Indian cuisine. Paneer is a good source of protein and calcium, making the dish a nutritious option for vegetarians. The tomato-based gravy provides antioxidants like lycopene. However, the generous use of butter and cream means the dish is high in saturated fat and calories, so it may not be ideal for frequent consumption by those watching fat intake. Moderation and pairing with whole-grain sides can help balance its nutritional profile for a satisfying meal.
