The masala needs to be mixed with 1 cup milk.
Mixed with milk
Heat 2 tbsp butter in the pan and add the chopped tomatoes.
Chopped tomatoes added to 2 tbsp butter. I added chopped chilies too

Open the lid and cook for few more seconds and turn off the light. Serve hot and indulge into the divine. :)
Eastern Shahi Paneer Butter Masala
Colour and texture: As the picture is shown in the pack, the dish comes in a whitish yellow colour. The colour is not very rich. It contains cashew that imparts a creamy texture and as the masala gets mixed with milk it brings a thick gravy. The masala it self is not very dark in colour and when it gets mixed with milk it automatically becomes a little liter in colour and later when it gets mixed with tomatoes, it brings a nice colour to the dish. I rate it 8/10 for the colour and texture.

Taste: This masala has a very nice taste but nothing very strong. The masala is not strong enough to get into the paneer cubes and increase its taste. The taste of the paneer remains same as it would be in the raw state. The gravy is very tasty and is capable alone to make you eat an ample amount of rice or chapatti :). The masala requires salt as it has lack of it. I would rate it 7/10 as many people would not like the raw taste of the paneer in such a delicious gravy.

Aroma: oh the aroma ! seriously its awesome and will make you fall in love with it. The nice aroma of the masala and the smell of the paneer makes it a dish to crave for.I totally loved it and so my family. I rate it 10/10 for it.

The masala is offered in paper made packing and comes in 40 grams quantity.
The masala is made using onion, cashew, milk, powder, tomato, salt, chilli, coriander, sugar, garlic, turmeric, fenugreek leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, clove and nutmeg.
Here you can see the ingredients
The required ingredients for making Paneer Butter Masala is, 150 g tomato puree, paneer 200 gm cut into cubes ( I made 250 gm ), 1 cup milk, butter 2 tbsp, salt if you need.
The ingredients
Step 1# Heat 2 tbsp refined oil in the pan, add the Paneer cubes and fry for 1 to 2 minutes and quickly remove from heat and keep it in normal temperature water. This prevents the Paneer from breaking. Mind it that the Paneer should not be brown.
Fry the Paneer cubes and after 2 minutes immediately shift it to normal temperature water 
Step 2# Heat 2 tbps butter in the pan and add the tomato puree.
Add tomato puree in heated butter

Step 5# After cooking the Paneer for 2 - 3 minutes add some water and cover the pan and let it cook for another 5 minutes in lower medium flame.

REVIEW OF EASTERN EASY 3 STEP COOKING PANEER BUTTER MASALA

1. The aroma of the raw masala itself is very tempting, it carries a lite smell of kasoori meethi. I rate it 9/10 as few people might not like the smell of kasoori methi though me and my family totally love it :)
After preparing the item, it generates a very nice smell, actually the smell is very similar to the one which you get hen you eat Paneer butter masala in a restaurant. Its lite, nice and tempting.

2. The colour of the food is very rich and the texture of the gravy is smooth and thick. The raw masala is yellow in colour but not the dark one. Later while cooking, the masala gets mixed with tomato puree and milk so the colour changes and becomes very rich and yummy in texture. The look of the dish is alone enough to make any body drool over it. I rate the look 10/ 10. Its just too tempting.

3. According to my taste buds the masala lacks salt content, so you need to add salt as per your taste. The masala is not very spicy or hot, so anybody with any taste can consume it. But for people who like a little spicy, they can easily add pepper or chilli to it. Has no pungent taste so no need to any other ingredient to make it tasty. Has a creamy like gravy which keeps the paneer cubes soft. I rate it 10/ 10.

Paneer Butter Masala


The whole experience of making Paneer Butter Masala with Eastern easy 3 step cooking masala was very good as it makes restaurant style curry. Me and my family loved it. :)
