I've made this recipe 3 times now and it's so delicious, butter paneer has always been one of my favorite dishes to order at Indian restaurants and being able to make it at home is awesome! It's a definitely a great way to impress a dinner guest and the person I cooked it for this evening even said that it was better than her favorite Indian restaurant!

I tried it for the first time, and with all the ingredients. The dish was so delicious. Both of my roommate and me finished the whole dish within ten minutes after cooking. And yes, it gave me the restaurant style taste itself. It was so delicious, that I took my time to write my first youtube comment.
