Butter Paneer

A Taste of Tradition, Made Simple!

For years, Butter Paneer and Butter Chicken have been the go-to comfort foods for so many of us. The rich, creamy, perfectly spiced sauce is what makes these dishes so irresistible. But let’s be honest—making it from scratch takes time, effort, and a long list of ingredients.

Indian curries are known for their deep, complex flavors, achieved through carefully balancing spices, slow cooking, and multiple preparation steps. While the results are always worth it, the process can be overwhelming. 

With our Butter Masala Sauce, preparing this class has never been easier. Simply add your choice of protein or vegetables, let it simmer, and serve with warm naan or rice.
