Experience our vegetarian Paneer Butter Masala, a delightful vegetarian dish at Royal India Express. Featuring soft cottage cheese cubes in a rich, creamy tomato-based gravy - this dish is a vegetarian version of the classic butter chicken, prepared with the same care and authentic spices. Served with fresh naan or rice for a complete meal.
Paneer Butter Masala is a beloved vegetarian dish that has become a signature specialty at Royal India Express. Our authentic recipe begins with fresh paneer (cottage cheese) cubes, which are gently cooked to maintain their soft texture while absorbing the rich flavors of the gravy. The dish features the same luxurious sauce as our butter chicken, made with butter, cream, tomato puree, and a carefully balanced blend of spices including garam masala, fenugreek leaves, and a touch of honey for sweetness.
What makes our Paneer Butter Masala special is the perfect balance of flavors – creamy without being heavy, flavorful without overwhelming spice, and with that distinctive richness that makes it a favorite among both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. The paneer cubes are soft and melt-in-the-mouth, while the gravy is rich and aromatic. We serve our Paneer Butter Masala with your choice of basmati rice or freshly baked naan bread, making it the perfect comfort food for any occasion.
