[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks a lot Katie!

[@catherinemoore5223]

And also kasuri methi is called dried fenugreek leaves in english, might be easier to find if you look for it under that name.

[@Berkano888]

Katie, thank you very much!!! Good job! :))

[@lucilleruel1297]

katie dawson Thank you !!!

[@nithin1989]

Thank u very much :)

[@psrpippy]

This curry is amazing. One of the best I have ever had. Better than anything I can buy in the shops or restaurant.

[@FoodwithChetna]

So good! thanks a lot

[@deanmillerfan]

Just made this. My husband says its the best paneer butter masala he's ever tasted, and I couldn't agree more! It took me about 15 mins. Thanks for this recipe! Can't wait to try your others!

[@anthonyfernandes80]

I made this today. You are right on both counts: It’s super easy to make and extremely delicious!

[@jadoogar4582]

He bhagwan! Guys, I am from Noida, India. My mom used to make the dish with similar taste, but shes not with me now. As i took a bite with the naan i ordered from the local restaurant tears came out and i almost started crying with Nostalgia. Thanks Chetna for making me remember this feeling, I'm going to subscribe.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Awwww that is so sweet, made me emotional too! Makes all my hard work worth it! welcome to the channel

[@UNIONFEATURES]

Oh my god, I just made this for the family. A++++. Thanks so much.

[@IvanIV05]

I have tried several of your recipe, but I think this one is the best. I cooked this today, a gorgeous smell and taste.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Woohoo, we have a winner!

[@HD-ol1mc]

I made this for dinner a couple of nights ago and my husband said it was one of the most delicious things he'd ever eaten 😋. So so good!

[@FoodwithChetna]

So glad!

[@anitathomas6775]

Omg!!! This is such a FABULOUS RECIPE!! soooo good!! The most perfect recipe I've tried so far in making a paneer makhani! And soooo easy too!!Thank you for sharing!! ❤

[@darwinkius]

Yours is the most delicious paneer makhani recipe I have ever tasted 🧡 It is beyond restaurant-quality and I am delighted I can prepare it at home. Thank you, Chetna!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks a lot 😊 that is so lovely to hear

[@maysamazzam8402]

Made this recipe today - first time cooking Indian food ever. My guests, being Indian, said that it’s the best Butter Paneer they’ve ever tried! Thank you so much.

[@stefaniefromberg6989]

Omg..so delicious!!! Just can't get over it. Thanks a ton for sharing 😊😊😊

[@shanmugapriyachannel94]

Superb receipe. I will try.Thanks

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you will enjoy it.

[@premierfuncasino]

It's amazing..just like an Indian restaurant...made it tonight wow

[@littletwinflower2940]

Just made this dish again tonight for dinner and it never disappoints! Such a perfect and easy meal!

[@starrynight6223]

Chetna, I just love you for this recipe! The scent of this is intoxicating, seriously!

[@FoodwithChetna]

It's so good! Glad you like the recipe too.

[@paulp5025]

Made this today, best curry I’ve ever made, fantastic

[@FoodwithChetna]

wow thanks Paul

[@wilsyule8569]

Thanks for this simple delicious recipe ...gave it a go and family are all in love with itthats it onto my menu of recipes....Namaste

[@bordoniusa]

i am in love with this woman. i now cook indian 2x per week. it had taken me for ever to get here as i never had the confidence of making a full meal. now i also make something for myself alone during the week after work. some dishes require no more than 15 mins. i strongly recommend her book...even if i use her youtube channel a lot, because i have my computer in the kitchen. i am based in london and can find all spices, but if you can't just order them on Amazon. now i am going to make this

[@FoodwithChetna]

This is so heart warming, thanks for letting me know. So glad I can help

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Yesterday I was thinking about making a curry. Now I know what I am going to make! Thanks!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yeah, glad I could help.

[@brittanyc4628]

Second time making this. So easy and delicious! I’ve always been hesitant about cooking Indian food because I could never get it quite right, but the way you explain things made me feel at ease. Didn’t have the methi or cardamom, but will be ordering soon. Without it, it was still amazing!

[@laceyryan553]

I made this yesterday and it is a bowl of heaven! I also used your recipe for paneer but I think I took too long to press it as it crumbled. My mistake hasn't kept this from being loved and requested again even through we have several days worth of leftovers! I can't wait to make this again! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome Lacey. I must say that I love homemade crumbled paneer.

[@laceyryan553]

I am making this again tonight. The crumbled paneer was delicious but made finding the spices a little more difficult.

[@sonibarnwal8618]

This is the best and the easiest paneer receipe I have come across...whenever I have guests at home, dis dish is definitely in my mind....almost everyone who has tasted this paneer dish has appreciated me ....thanku so much Chetna...lots of love

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much, makes me very happy to hear that. My whole family loves this too!

[@gsacki2010]

I have a block of paneer sitting in the fridge, will be using this recipe. Thanks for making it easy to follow!

[@tizianabisognin8913]

just made it! first time made paneer and fenugreek leaves.... delicious recipe! we loved very much the paneer consistency and combination of spices🙂 I found fenugreek leaves a bit similar to italian dragoncello, love it! thanks Chetna

[@julie3686]

I love this recipe so much. Completely fool proof too! Tonight I'm making it with half paneer, half chickpeas. Thank you Chetna!

[@FoodwithChetna]

so glad you are enjoying cooking this often

[@emmabiggs4745]

Made this today and oh my gosh……it was gorgeous! You are magic. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes, keep them coming :)

[@michaelmiller9050]

I gave it a go! A very luxurious and crowd-pleasing dish! Thank you so much for posting this Chetna! One little snag I ran into is that double cream doesn't really exist in America. Instead I used heavy whipping cream, which contains slightly more water. So, I gave it a couple of extra minutes on low heat to evaporate the extra moisture.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoyed it

[@catherinemoore5223]

Heavy cream is the same as double cream. We just use different names. Hope that helped.

[@avionmars]

Another great alternative is a few tablespoons of créme fresh!

[@soumyanagarajan7789]

I tried tis recipe and it came out really well...thnkw once again chetna...u r awesome...😃😃

[@FoodwithChetna]

That is such good news Soumya! glad you enjoyed.

[@elaine58100]

This looks amazing Chetna! You make such beautiful delicious easy food that takes the mystery out of Indian Cooking. Could I use this sauce with Chicken as well?

[@itsmanogna]

I just made this recipe and my mouth was watering the whole time it was cooking. And tasting it was the absolute best part. AMAZING!!!! Thank you for this recipe!!!!!!

[@FoodwithChetna]

That makes me very very happy!

[@shrutisharmass20]

Hi I cooked it today for lunch and everyone loved it .....i said credit goes to you ..i really like your video,recipe and easy to make in short notice. Thankyou I would really like to see more vegetarian recipes of yours .

[@FoodwithChetna]

There are loads of vegetarian recipes already on the channel, check out the vegetarian section.

[@tanyajohnson14]

What a lovely and not overly complicated recipe - I used your video to learn how to make paneer too. I couldn't feed fenugreek leaves though, only fenugreek seeds. I imagine the taste is quite different but it was nice still.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@kanchalaj9978]

I've followed this recipe and made it twice already and it was delicious!! Looked it up again so I can make it next week :)

[@russbarker2727]

That looks absolutely superb Chetna. . I will have to wait for Mrs Russ to go out because she doesn't like paneer! Can you believe that? Anyway, I can't wait to try it! Thank you.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Ah she doesnt know what she is missing

[@gogo81k]

I made this yesterday - Fabulous!! Yummy

[@FoodwithChetna]

Wonderful!

[@fionajackson8002]

Chetna, I am making this right now and my house smells amazing. And it is so easy! Thank you.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Amazing

[@dhanyaasher7060]

This is the only Paneer I will prepare. I made this with Tofu as I'm switching to a vegan diet and added coconut milk instead of cream. The Best. Truly. So delicious. Thank you so much!

[@ruthlemusu6503]

Tried this recipe today turned out really delicious. My friends really liked it too. Thanks so much for sharing

[@FoodwithChetna]

My pleasure 😊

[@upendasana7857]

Thank you Chetna for sharing all these wonderful recipes

[@FoodwithChetna]

Glad you like them!

[@lorrainemarcketta489]

I've only just discovered you on KZbin, and I'm SO enjoying watching your creativity at work -- one of my absolute favorite parts is seeing you taste each finished dish (or donut!) at the end. Your total delight is wonderful to see. I've now picked up (most) ingredients and will try one of your recipes this evening. (I wasn't able to find garam masala at two different places, but I see that Amazon carries it, so I will get it from them.) Thank you!

[@Thilagaschimney]

Hair style super. I love it

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks

[@kanchalaj9978]

I saw this video today and I tried this recipe tonight and it was sooooo good!!! I can't believe how well it turned out so Thank you!!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yeah!!!! so glad you enjoyed it.

[@susanford2388]

looks so yummy. My grandmother & father were born & brought up in India, so my siblings & I grew up eating Indian food, likewise my children are too. We live in Germany, so I have brought India to them.

[@meghakurian3160]

Thank you so much Chetna! I absolutely loved it. Cooked it for my parents today and it was divine I tell you!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Awwwww so so happy to hear that!

[@Color_your_dreams]

Going to try this tonight ❤

[@rahulvinalnarayan9743]

Hi Chetna I decided to be a little spontaneous and tried this masala with chicken.OMG!! HAVEN!! haha. You’re incredible. Thanks.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Oh yes, great with chicken too!

[@peterpumpkineater6926]

Ah, what an amazing recipe dear Chetna, one question though, can I do away with the tomato puree?

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes absolutely

[@tristanmartin6862]

Sunflower oil Red onion 10-12 mins 3 garlic cloves and 1cm ginger 4 chopped tomatoes 40g cashews Cover, cook 10-12 mins, low heat Grind to a paste 450g paneer Soak in water 1 tbsp oil, 3 tblsp butter 2 bay leaves, 6 cloves, cinnamon, cardamom pods Add puree Tomato puree Cover, cook 10 mins Salt, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala Tsp sugar Cream

[@sparkasaurusdonna]

Oh, thank you. this is one of my favorite dishes and have been looking for a good recipe.

[@FoodwithChetna]

enjoy

[@vrindaj71]

Thank youuuu for the amazing recipe. I tried it last week and my boyfriend loved it. He could stop praising. Thank you again.

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome!

[@deepikachander5284]

Tried this today .. turned out really well 😊 thank you

[@catcalliope3737]

We just made this (with homemade paneer) and it is truly amazing. Thank you! P.S. any tips for how to keep milk from burning to the pan when bringing it to a boil? It's not bad this time but we'd like to avoid it entirely in the future.

[@FoodwithChetna]

So glad you enjoyed it and even tried making your panner, best is to bring the milk to boil on low to medium heat and it would be fine and not burn.

[@catcalliope3737]

We were a little short on time so we did it on medium the whole time, guess next time we'll try low and plan for a longer process. Thanks!

[@s8849]

Wow I can taste the flavour

[@FoodwithChetna]

yeah

[@Yogi_Ram]

Excellent presentation ma'am..😍👍🙏 thank you

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks Sunil

[@Sarah-ji2xb]

Thank you very much for your wonderful recipes

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome.

[@sagartripti]

Hi Chetna, thanks so much for this recipe. I tried yesterday and it came out fabulous. I didn't add cream as I didn't had but it didn't make any difference as I fried the onions etc in butter as well. So it was very buttery yummy dish😋

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yeah, makes me very happy to hear when people have tried and loved the recipe!

[@garydaniels1341]

Mouthwatering just watching,can almost taste it. Thankyou Chetna.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Do try it Gary

[@townsleyfamily]

My mouth is watering!!! This looks divine. Can’t wait to make it for my family. Our kiddos love Chetna!

Thanks Annie

[@elaine58100]

This looks amazing Chetna! You make such beautiful but easy food which takes the mystery out of Indian cooking. Just out of interest could I use this sauce with chicken?

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome and yes Chicken would be great in this sauce!

I made this a few days ago it was lush! I'm making it again, I also made your vegetable curry that's featured on Jamie Oliver's channel, delicious also 😋

[@FoodwithChetna]

Woohoo, so glad you enjoyed it.

[@niksknacks]

This recipe is amazing!!! I’ve made it twice now and it’s been a hit both times! A couple of things if you’re in the US! I subbed the double cream for heavy whipping cream. Also the longer you leave the cinnamon in the spicier the flavor so be mindful of that. Excellent recipe! Thank you!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it.

[@itsmedukachan4690]

THANKZ Mam.... For sharing this recipe with us I tried last night and everyone in my family like it

[@FoodwithChetna]

No other cheese really, try with chicken, or potatoes or cauliflower, you can make your own paneer, recipe for that is on my channel

[@vannotenc]
